German Research Network

Our network is part of the German Research Network (DFN) – more specifically, the Metropolitan Area Network Darmstadt (MANDA). This gives us a first-class connection to the world of scientific research and education.

However, this affiliation also comes with a special responsibility. The DFN focuses on secure and reliable use for research and teaching. That is why clear rules apply to ensure proper and responsible use of the network.

This includes, among other things:

  • conscious and careful use of the resources provided,
  • compliance with security guidelines and protective measures.

Some online services or websites may therefore be restricted or unavailable. These measures should not be seen as a restriction, but as a protective mechanism for the entire research network.

Our connection to the DFN thus offers us enormous advantages in terms of science and education, but at the same time requires compliance with the rules of proper use.
