KAREN partners

KAREN Partners help extend the reach and richness of KAREN for Members and Associate Members.

Partners are organisations that have a role in providing, co-ordinating or administering education or research. This includes private sector companies that partner with or supply content and services to our Members or Associate Members, government agencies, partners and hospitals.

Content and Service Partners and Network Aggregators that meet all standards laid out in the the relevant policies earn the Accredited status and able to use KAREN Accreditation Marks as part of their sales and marketing activities.


Research and Education Partners

Research and Education Partners are primarily involved in the provision of education, training or teaching, conduct or co-ordination of research, or the administration of those activities. Research and education partners can access KAREN for these purposes.  They are not allowed to use KAREN for their other business activities.


Content and Service Partners

Content and Service Partners are any supplier organisation that wishes to provide services to Members or Associate
Members. See our Content and Service Partner policy (pdf, 78KB) for full details.


Technology partners

Technology Partners are organisations wishing to conduct technical trials or pilots on KAREN.


Network aggregators

Network Aggregators deliver the power of KAREN to smaller members who may not have the resources required to manage a core KAREN connection.   An Aggregated Service is a combination of a connection (layer-2) service and a traffic management (layer-3) service.  Aggregators can use their own, or any other compliant, connection (layer-2) service, such as an offering from a local open-access network provider. See our Network Aggregator policy (pdf, 155KB) for full details.
