Government invests in KAREN’s future
REANNZ welcomes the Government’s commitment to ongoing funding for KAREN, cementing its role as advanced national science and innovation infrastructure.
Today the Government announced its commitment to an ongoing $4 million per year funding contribution for the Kiwi Advanced Research and Education Network (KAREN), starting in July 2013.
Donald Clark, Chief Executive of REANNZ said, “This significant continuing revenue contribution is pivotal as it will ensure KAREN remains advanced and on the leading-edge of networking, and is able to serve the specialist needs of our Members.”
“This is positive news for our community, and recognises their achievements and commitment to KAREN. Our Members can now make long-term investments in related research infrastructure and services knowing that KAREN will be there for them.”
“This positive outcome is the result of strong commitment and support from our Crown shareholders, Members and other stakeholders over the past 18 months. Many thanks to all those who contributed to this achievement,” said Donald.
