At the GEANT Association and its partner projects, Azerbaijan is represented by the Institute of Information Technology of ANAS with the official support of the relevant state agencies (the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies, Ministry of Education and Science).

The European Commission has decided to finance the EaPConnect (Eastern Partnership Connect) project to establish a regional network of research and education that connects Eastern Partnership countries with the initiative and coordination of the GEANT Association and to foster the joining of these countries to Europe's electronic science infrastructure. The main objective of the project is to integrate the national research and education networks (NRENs) in the region into the pan-European GÉANT network, decrease the digital divide and facilitate the participation of local scientists, students and academics in global R&E collaborations.

The Institute of Information Technology closely cooperates with the GEANT Association and the structure of  AzScienceNet, a national  R&E network has been developed recently. Presently, all the scientific institutions and organizations of the National Academy of Sciences are provided with advanced network technologies and services through the AzScienceNet electronic infrastructure.
