Abstract

The paper presents and discusses the main results of work on the development of the National Research Computer Network of Russia (NIKS) performed within the framework of the national project "Science and Universities" in 2021–2024. The implemented activities are considered to expand the territorial accessibility and increase the throughput of the backbone infrastructure, ensure high-speed and reliable sectoral network connectivity, and connect the country’s leading research and educational organizations of higher education to the network. The dynamics of development of the network backbone infrastructure, regional coverage, gradual increase in the number of connected organizations and some other statistical information about the user base are presented. Prospects and possible directions for further development of NIKS are discussed.
