NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

ANSP was born as a project of international cooperation. After all, its primary objective was to connect the São Paulo scientific community to Fermilab in the United States of America, which became a reality following the signing of a cooperation agreement with the laboratory and the Bitnet network. Thereafter, ANSP continued to expand its partnerships, nationally and internationally, always guided by the fulfillment of its goal of providing the São Paulo research community with the best possible network connectivity.
