Speaker
Description
When I joined GÉANT, I found myself in a position where I need to be able to explain clearly, succinctly, and accurately what we do and who we are. The scope of GÉANT and NRENs is not easily captured in a 2-minute elevator pitch, something that many in the community can attest to. We are deeply embedded in Europe’s research and education ecosystem, but often our impact is only understood in fragments. Our future depends on expanding how we are understood as an Association. This Lightning Talk is an invitation to reflect on the long-term framing of GÉANT, whether we recognize ourselves in the concept of Commons – and how we shape that narrative together.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
The audience will take away a new idea for reframing conversations with stakeholders, a sense of urgency to bridge siloes of external perception, and a shared reflection on GÉANT’s future position in Europe. While the idea of a Commons might have been introduced to parts of the audience before, this talk offers the opportunity to reflect on the potential that Commons hold for GÉANT, and whether we see ourselves in it – a conversation that hopefully extends into the lunch breaks.
