GENI Mission & Vision

The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a unique virtual laboratory for at-scale networking experimentation where the brightest minds unite to envision and create new possibilities of future internets. The GENI mission is to:

• open the way for transformative research at the frontiers of network science and engineering; and
• inspire and accelerate the potential for groundbreaking innovations of significant socio-economic impact

About the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI)

GENI, a virtual laboratory for exploring future internets at scale, creates major opportunities to understand, innovate and transform global networks and their interactions with society. Dynamic and adaptive, GENI opens up new areas of research at the frontiers of network science and engineering, and increases the opportunity for significant socio-economic impact. GENI will:

• support at-scale experimentation on shared, heterogeneous, highly instrumented infrastructure;
• enable deep programmability throughout the network, promoting innovations in network science, security, technologies, services and applications; and
• provide collaborative and exploratory environments for academia, industry and the public to catalyze groundbreaking discoveries and innovation.
