Through IHETS’ membership as a Sponsored Education Group Participant (SEGP), Indiana State University is connected to Internet2. Internet2 is a US university-led consortium with partners in industry and government that interconnects universities, research networks, and advanced educational networks with the goal of developing and deploying advanced network applications and technology. It provides a connection for educators and researchers to virtually every research network in the world, opening the door to greater collaborations and communication.
