Speaker

Kaoutar Karroum (LAW)

Description

Digital research infrastructures depend not only on technical performance, but fundamentally on trust. This presentation develops one central idea: law functions as an operational trust infrastructure within digital research and education networks.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?

The TNC audience will gain a practical understanding of how legal frameworks act as operational infrastructure for digital research and education networks. They will see how contracts, governance agreements, and responsibility allocation shape everyday decisions on access, data sharing, interoperability, and cross-border collaboration.
The talk reframes law not as a constraint, but as an enabler of trust, reliability, and sustainability. Participants will leave with actionable insights into how coherent legal design supports resilient, inclusive, and sustainable networks—particularly in the context of emerging NRENs.
