As a service provider, we believe it is important to always provide you with the best possible quality. In order to guarantee the stability of our network and our services during the Christmas period, we plan a network freeze as every year.

Last July, the Secretary of State for Federal Science Policy, Thomas Dermine, and Belspo's President, Arnaud Vajda, signed a new 2022-2024 Strategic Plan for Federal Science Policy. Belnet has an important role to play in this, including as a facilitator of open science.

International collaboration is an inherent component of research and education networks such as Belnet. For instance, since 2012 we have been exchanging knowledge and experience with our colleagues at CEDESURK and their partner organisations in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Together with Muliri MIRINDI Dieudonné and Patrick LUFUNDISU, we look back at the main challenges and achievements.

The exchange of ideas and expertise with our community is crucial for an organisation like Belnet. Through its active involvement in the GN5 project, Belnet seeks to contribute to the further development of the e-infrastructure for European research and educational institutions.
