We are excited to welcome Rrjeti Akademik Shqiptar (RASH - Academic Network of Albania) as a new signatory of the Groningen Declaration Network.

RASH, the Academic Network of Albania, is the National Research and Education Network (NREN), an interinstitutional center including all public universities and the Ministry of Education. RASH has developed "in house" various software applications for the management of Higher Education and Research including: UAlbania (Higher education admission portal), U.Gov-Pitagora (University student secretary), UCRIS (University Current Research Information System), U-Library (digital library), V.Uni (Virtual university-LMS), and more.

RASH builds and manages the Academic Network Backbone, MAN of Tirana and their own Datacenter for universities and research institutions. RASH e-infrastructure is connected with GÉANT Network infrastructure, the fundamental element of Europe’s e-infrastructure, delivering IT services and network for scientific excellence, research, education and innovation through interconnections with its 38 NREN partners.

By becoming a signatory, RASH has joined a growing global community committed to privacy-compliant digital learner data exchange that empowers academic mobility and lifelong learning.

Is your organization ready to lead the change? Becoming a Signatory or Patron means supporting the GDN’s mission to make portable, privacy-respecting learner data a global standard.
