The Ecosystem for Research Networking is a consortium of universities, network providers, and industry partners working to simplify multi-campus collaborations and partnerships that advance the frontiers of research, education, and innovation.

Rutgers is leading this partnership to provide layered and transparent access to shared data and computing facilities for research projects located at and between partner sites. The resulting regional research and education platform will support a diverse set of science drivers and emergent educational opportunities. It will offer the educational research community access to a broad range of collaborative multi-institutional resources that are not available on any one campus alone.
