Innovation Programme Spotlight
- Piotr Pawałowski (PCSS)
Description
This session highlights the projects selected for the 2026 edition of the GÉANT Innovation Programme (GIP). The six awarded projects reflect key innovation areas including artificial intelligence, security, multimedia services, and open-source software.
These projects demonstrate how community-driven ideas are transformed into working prototypes addressing real-world challenges, from AI-driven services and cybersecurity to collaborative platforms and open-source governance. Together, they provide a snapshot of current innovation priorities and emerging solutions within the GÉANT ecosystem.
The goal of the FeduMEET project is to design, implement and test a multi-operator, federated videoconferencing service based on the eduMEET platform, with customisable points ofaccess and support for SSO integrations (such as eduGAIN).

Derived from the OWASP Web Honeypot Project, Chameleon-REN deploys adaptive, low-interaction honeypots across National Research and Education Networks to capture, classify and share emerging threats targeting academic web application infrastructure. Dynamically mimicking REN-typical services, it generates real-time threat intelligence feeds for CSIRT teams, supports collaborative incident...
A DRE (Digital Research Environment) provides the European researcher with a dynamic catalogue of accessible digital services within an intuitive portal or workspace. The GÉANT community DRE platform (based on the SURF Research Cloud) is both functional and configurable, allowing sophisticated researcher identification and project affiliation, and controlled consumption of general and bespoke...
