The e-Infrastucture has evolved in the Arab region at both national and regional levels as National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) are developing now in more than 17 the Arab countries. At the regional level, ASREN announced the operation of the Arabian Global Educational Open PoP (AGE-OP) in London in cooperation with GEANT. In short words, e-AGE 2017 is coming with “EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND INNOVATION” as the main theme of the conference and all activities will be centered on it.</span><span
