On Wednesday (9/23), the Brazilian National Research and Educational Network announced the seven Working Groups (GT) that will be coordinated by the organization in the period between 2015 and 2016. Of these, four new proposals were selected for the first phase and three for the second phase. In the first phase, with one-year duration, the groups create and demonstrate the prototype of a new product or service and, in the second phase, also with one year, this prototype is developed for the implementation of a pilot.

Through the Working Groups Program, conducted since 2003, RNP works in partnership with the scientific community following the open innovation management model. A notice is published annually so that national research groups can submit proposals for new services and products in the fields of networks and distributed applications that are of interest to users of RNP.
