NEAT is coordinated by Simula Research Laboratory and is carried out by a strong consortium of top industry players and leading academic centres.
NEAT has engaged an external Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) composed of two major researchers in the field and two key representatives from the industry. Three members of the SAB are active in the IETF and the IRTF, one was a member of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) for several years, and two of them have been involved in the creation of the Transport Service (TAPS) Working Group at the IETF.
