Welcome to ACOnet!

ACOnet is the Austrian National Research and Education Network (NREN) for science, research, education, art and culture. It is operated by the Vienna University Computer Center, in co-operation with other universities in Austria.

ACOnet provides a nation-wide fibre optic backbone with high-performance access to international academic networks via GÉANT, as well as to the Internet. Furthermore, ACOnet offers its participants various target-group-specific services to support research projects and communities.


ACOnet and COVID-19:

The ACOnet team is working from the home office again since 19 November 2021. Our availability has not changed, however. You can reach us Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00, CEST; preferably by e-mail but also by phone (see contact information). In the case of an emergency you may also call us outside our office hours and leave a message. If necessary, we will call back swiftly.

OCRE 2024 Framework available

From February 2025, the "OCRE 2024 Framework" once again provides a public cloud framework portfolio for the Research & Education Network community. As a result, eight cloud platforms from various providers will be available to ACOnet participants without tendering by the end of 2029. Existing contracts from the previous "2020 IaaS+ Framework" should be transferred to the new framework.
