KINBER is lighting the way for new and innovative partnerships for its anchor institutions and members in the realms of digital resources, regional peering, tele-medicine, high performance computing and network-centric information technology applications. Members will benefit from enhanced access to regional, national, and global R&E networks with “built-in” opportunities for collaborations between members.
