Single Presentation - 25 min What holds us together – a non-techie perspective Tuning into the Community: Cloud, Trust, and Funding

Speaker

Veronika Di Luna (GÉANT)

Description

The presentation will recap on the ways the GÉANT Association – and, more broadly, collaboration within the European R&E networking community - has been funded to date. It will reflect on what has worked well and what remains unstable and uncertain, share insights into future funding trends, and outline potential funding scenarios considering the current knowledge of the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Finally, it will invite participants to consider how European R&E collaboration can be safeguarded from a funding perspective in an era of geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing changes that the European Commission - the primary funding body for European cross-border collaboration - must itself undergo.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?

The session participants will gain a deeper understanding of European NREN community funding dynamics and the choices that we will need to make going forward that may shape our collective future.
