The Spanish authorities are fostering the development of high-speed, regional research networks as a better way to guarantee that the region’s infrastructures allow adequate access to Spanish and international research networks. In this context, the Regional Government of Madrid set itself the challenge of creating Europe’s most advanced high-speed regional research network. It collaborateswith the University Carlos III of Madrid in order to introduce the most advanced, yet cost-effective technology. This has lead to the design and deployment of REDIMadrid, a regional research network for the research and education institutions in the region of Madrid. It is supervised by the Fundación para el Conocimiento madri+d, a non-profit organization.
