🇯🇴 Last week, GÉANT was in Jordan connecting with partners through #EUMEDplus project, including ASREN, SESAME Synchrotron-light, JUNet and the EU in Jordan.
A visit to SESAME highlighted how critical high-capacity R&E connectivity is for international scientific collaboration and data-intensive research.
Discussions also focused on strengthening national and cross-border connectivity across Jordan and the wider region.
Thank you to the ASREN and SESAME teams for such a warm welcome 😊
