When did this all started ?
• Started at Maastricht, Netherlands in June 2013– How can we look at a specific topic that might
have a global interest ?– Dengue fever was suggested – TEIN took on the task to kick-off with a dengue
fever workshop
![Page 3: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Post TNC 2013
• How do we reach out to the community ?• Techniques:– TEIN governors (to get NRENs support)– Global PR– Websites – International dengue fever projects – Chance meetings with clinicians
![Page 4: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Result
All the different contact avenues were important. • Some speakers were contacted and
recommended by NREN representatives• Websites. Provide contact for “cold” call. Not
very successful.• Global_PR group was instrumental
![Page 5: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Finding the right platform
• TEIN*CC and APAN have worked together over the years.
• Agreed to jointly hold a workshop:– APAN meeting in Bandung, Indoensia provided the
venue and local logistics.– TEIN*CC provided the funding support and
organizational support.

Technology
• Not all the presenters were on-site. • VC for remote participation (ideal opportunity to show how
NRENs can facilitate collaboration and exchange cost- and time-efficiently)
• We use both H.323 and skype to support the presentations.• Issues
– Some sites were not familiar with the use of H.323– Need to have a number of trial runs. – Coordination to mute was an issue.
• Might use Vidyo, used by the Telemedicine group in the future.

The Bandung workshop
• 5 clinicians/ researchers/public health officials from MY, BD, PK, PH in person, 4 from SG, JP, LK, AU remotely
• NREN reps also attended and provided insight into what research networks are and how NRENs can provide support
• Rep from APAN telemedicine working group also attended
![Page 13: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Bandung workshop • Dengue fever management & research has national
focus, but there is a need to collaborate internationally to stop its spread
• Follow up activities to focus on specific topics (dengue fever is multi-disciplinary) e.g. clinical case management
• Network requirements differ, generally limited bandwidth demands– Videconferencing / webconferencing – But also mathematic modelling to produce dengue fever
outbreak detection system

AARNet’s Annual Report: Featured Dengue Workshop from an Australian perspective
![Page 17: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Following the Dengue Workshop in Bandung, AARNet contacted leading researchers in Australia to gain better understanding of networking needs
![Page 18: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rolling out the workshop model
Start regional, then go global!

What have we learned ?
• We get better understanding as to how research networking can help this ‘marginal’ user community collaborate better in tackling this global disease
• Scientific communities are usually not well aware of the network.
• Global_PR community can help reach a wider audience.
• Community-building • Global case study
![Page 21: Dengue fever collaboration By A/Prof. Bu-Sung Lee, francis (TEIN & SingAREN) Ms. Helga Spitelar (DANTE)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8a1d550346a10a8b5611/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Moving forward
• How to keep the momentum?• How can we maximize PR value of this
community building activities?• How can we apply the experience/lessons
learnt to other topics and when reaching out to other fairly unknown user communities?

Discussion
• It affect us all. • PR value to a marginal community. PR to
create greater Awareness.• Other communities that can learn from this
experience. What are other areas ? Cultural. • Provide them with tools. Eg videoconference.• How do we engage and support them.
