2. Indiana University’s commitment to international activities “The value of an IU education cannot be contained within one classroom, one state, or one continent. It spans the globe.” President Michael McRobbie February 15, 2008
3. Topics Wandering general observations A bit of international networking history Where are we today? The global picture of international networking Where are we headed at Indiana?

29. We have two new, large NSF awards – ACE and TP3 (map next)
31. We are investigating workshops as a mechanism for strengthening international collaborations [US-India; US-Vietnam; US-Czech Republic].
32. We have strong interests in “science support”.See: http://internationalnetworking.indiana.edu/
33. NSF International Research Network Connections Project: Leverage and partnerships Key IRNC concepts: Much more extensive network development and connectivity than IRNC only funding would permit Fostering/developing more active relationships between US and non-US network engineers Leads to better international scientific and technical interactions
34. Where are we today? America Connects to Europe (ACE) TransPAC3: US connection to Asia
50. Where are we headed at IU:Areas of interest and research Focus some attention on underserved areas (Africa, Central Asia, South Asia) Provide services beyond bandwidth (utilization, e-2-e, DC, security) Develop better tools for scientists Work as a community to being planning for future science experiments (gene sequencing; SKA; “brighter” LHC; ITER)
58. Better collaboration tools using “social media-based” tools – for example, see the following: https://hubzero.org/
59. Researcher-specific tools, such as the Data Logistics Toolkit (DLT), need to become fully developed research aids -- see: http://code.google.com/p/dlt/
