Welcome to the NORDUnet2008 Conference

With a history dating back to 1980, the NORDUnet conference is among the oldest contiguous series of conferences on research and education networking. During these more than 25 years there has been a constant flow of new technologies and social innovation.  The NORDUnet conference has changed in format and content, and we're ready to evolve the NORDUnet conference once again as the R&E networking goes through another phase of evolution.

The conference slogan "The Biosphere of Grids and Networks" mirrors the fact that Grids and research and education networking are interconnected, that the two develop together in many ways, and that the networking and grid technologies are more and more essential for science and education. It also reflects the constant development of new technologies and services, with roots in past progress, approved standards, and proven design principles.

We hope the conference can serve as an open environment where users, maintainers, developers, researchers, and decision makers have fruitful discussion about new results and common challenges, and also share experiences.
