Thousands of students and researchers in Togo can now experience a remarkable shift in their academic and research work and contribute immensely to nation building as TogoRER - the national research and education network (NREN) has officially launched in a brief ceremony in the nation’s –capital Lomé.

The launch follows TogoRER’s connection to the West and Central African Research and Education Network (WACREN) - the regional REN, under the AfricaConnect3 project, co-funded by the European Union.

With this successful connection and launch of the Togo network, various stakeholders in the academic and research space will have access to high-speed, high-capacity and reliable specialised ‘internet’ for research and research collaboration in Togo and beyond.
