The main objectives of BSI are listed below.

• Objective 1 - Building a proper regional research and education network among South Caucasus and connecting it to GÉANT2
  

The BSI will build a regional research and education network which will supply the infrastructure needed by the academic and scientific communities in South Caucasus and connect it to the pan-European research network, GÉANT2, as its main objective.

• Objective 2 - Integration of South Caucasus scientific potential to Europe
  

In addition to the network connections, building and maintaining a collaboration and communication infrastructure will help to exploit the results of BSI successfully. PR campaigns and liaison activities will encourage the esearch communities in the region to involve in ICT projects with European colleagues using BSI as a platform and this will contribute bridging the digital divide among South Caucasus and Europe.

• Objective 3 – Foster collaboration between homogenous scientific communities
  

A plethora of user communities will be addressed and potentially served by the provision of the network infrastructure. A diversity of scientific communities, which at the moment have very limited or lack any access to the European e-Infrastructure (online libraries, access to experiments results), will also benefit. Seismologists, astrophysicists high-energy physicists, to name a few, are potentially beneficiary end users.
