Welcome to MoRENet
The Mozambique Research and Education Network, MoRENet was established by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2005. The MoRENet project is a part of the ICT Policy Implementation Strategy. The NREN is a nationwide data network that will interconnect academic and research institutions, developing activities with non-profit purposes. The network, which is intended to be a framework for fast and efficient exchange of research data among its members, has as main philosophy to take advantage and make use of the already deployed fiber infrastructure in the country. The network accommodate both public and private academic institutions and research centers. MoRENet is one of the founding members of the UbuntuNet Alliance for Research and Education Networking.

University education in times of isolation
Measures to combat the new coronavirus pandemic keep thousands of students and university professors at home. These are strange times and the situation is unique, but teaching in times of isolation does not work equally for everyone.
a university student's schedule was already irregular before the new coronavirus led to the suspension of face-to-face classes, now it is even more so. Pedro Miguel Oliveira studies Communication Sciences at the University of Porto (UP) and confirms to P3 that "the routine is being completely out of the ordinary". Without the usual amount of time spent commuting, students wake up minutes before class and many just cross the room, going from their bed to their desk in their pajamas.
6 cloud technologies that have helped companies in times of Coronavirus

Coursera for campus
Higher education worldwide is at a historic crossroads. With more than 300 million people entering the workforce in the next 10 years, universities urgently need to augment their capacity to meet the aspirations of a young and growing demographic. Employers rely on universities to provide them with graduates armed with the digital skills needed to drive their businesses in the age of AI and automation. But higher education in many countries finds it difficult to deliver — they are constrained by the capacity of their on-campus programs, lagging curricula, and the challenge of recruiting expert faculty required to launch new programs.

FCCN-FCT distance learning service users increased by over 2800%
The Colibri service, developed by the National Scientific Computing Foundation, allows hundreds of participants from the academic and scientific community to have meetings or classes via the Internet.
Last Thursday (March 12), the Colibri distance learning service, made available by the National Scientific Computing unit of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCCN-FCT), was used by 56,500 more people than usual. The data were shared this Saturday by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education.
Vitalina Morais Baptista Nhavene's long walk to the HPC
The Paths to HPC series, presented in collaboration with Women in HPC, showcases women working in high-performance computing, highlighting these pioneers - and the sometimes unique paths they have taken in the field - other women feel inspired to imagine themselves in similar roles.
The Paths to HPC series in conversation with Vitalina Morais Baptista Nhavene, administrator of the HPC system of the Mozambique Research and Education Network (MoRENet), obtained the brief history of overcoming Vitalina Morais Baptista Nhavene after joining MoRENet.
MoRENet and ARECOM technicians participate in the Workshop on LPWAN Solutions for The Internet of Things in Uganda
A team formed by MoRENet and ARECOM participated in the Workshop on LPWAN for The Internet of Things, from 17-21 February 2020 at Makerere University, Uganda.
Four NREN's (National Research and Education Networks) participated in this Workshop, namely: The Kenya Education Network (KENET), the Mozambique Research and Education Network (MoRENet), the Tanzania Education and Research Network (TERNET) and Research and Education Network for Uganda (RENU). In addition to the NREN’s, other stakeholders involved in the workshop included the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), UbuntuNet Alliance, Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) and the Internet Society. These institutions are interested in low power and long distance network (LPWAN) solutions for the development of the education and research network interconnected through the Internet of Things.
MoRENet has completed the installation of the second high-performance computing equipment in the Maluana data center
The first phase of installation and configuration of the second High Performance Computing (HPC) equipment located at the Maluana Data Center, called “Stampede Supercomputing”, was completed. This installation and configuration process is the result of the action of the activity plan carried out with a view to expanding the computational capacity of MoRENet HPC Ecosystems, to better serve the national academic and scientific communities, which deal with highly demanding activities in terms of storage, processing data on high connectivity networks.
