Description
The world as we knew it is rapidly shifting. Now more than ever Europe has the responsibility, but also the opportunity, to play a key role in protecting European values. A strong European educational sector is conditional for Europe that has, with a robust economy, the power to influence this balancing act. NRENs and GÉANT are uniquely positioned to help build the connected education infrastructure Europe needs to establish a strong European educational sector.
CARNET, CSC, Jisc, Sikt and SURF initiated in early 2025 the “NRENs4Education” group to discuss concrete activities that NRENs can do together to support universities in the area of education. A BoF at TNC is the perfect opportunity to hear from the European Commission what are the plans for the European Education Plan and how NRENs can transform European education from a collection of digital islands into a connected and interoperable continent of opportunities and give millions of students the seamless educational experience to prepare them with the right skills for a role in a thriving European economy. During the BoF, the activities undertaken by the NRENs4Education group will be presented.
