steps towards interconnecting researchers and academics across the Arab States by launching its first PoP in London Telicity and working with its partners on new PoPs in UAE, Egypt and the Maghreb region. ASREN is also supporting the development of NRENs in
some Arab countries. In e-AGE 2014, ASREN will give special attention and more focus on users and how the e-Infrastructure can support their needs in terms of services and applications. More sessions will be dedicated to the users to present their research
and education activities and then to identify how these users can be better served by NRENs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
