ASREN (Arab States Research and Education Network) and partners have introduced a platform offering open access to the scientific output of the Arab States through a single access point. The platform enhances the exchange of critical scientific data, for example in areas such as Earth observation, climate change, and sustainability.
Besides bridging the Arab region, the platform – named Tibr – marks an intercontinental collaboration, since RedCLARA (the regional research and education network for Latin America) and another Latin American organization, LA Referencia, were involved in creating the platform. The European regional organization, GÉANT, also contributed within the framework of the EUMEDplus project, reinforcing cooperation between research and education networks across regions.
“Tibr is not just a platform; it is the demonstration of the impact we achieve when we share capabilities, vision, and technology across regions. ASREN and RedCLARA have built this pathway step by step, and today we celebrate a digital bridge that strengthens Open Science in the Arab States,” says Luis Eliécer Cárdenas, Executive Director, RedCLARA.
