ABOUT
The largest and most prestigious research and education networking conference, TNC attracts a truly diverse audience of over 800 participants from more than 70 countries, representing national and regional research and education networks, schools and universities, technology providers, and many of the world’s most exciting scientific projects. By bringing together decision-makers, networking and security specialists, identity and access management experts, researchers, academics and students, TNC offers a unique collaborative experience.
We often hear the term ‘digital natives’ to describe a person who has grown up in the information age but we are all living in that age – we are all the Digital Generations.
Tirana, awarded the European Youth Capital for 2022, is the perfect juxtaposition of these generations with a vibrant community of students and young workers.
Serving all digital generations is a challenge that NRENs must face, from building innovative educational experiences to supporting advanced research projects that have spanned decades.
Our conference in Tirana will be the perfect opportunity to reflect on how we engage digital generations and to reflect on how we are integrating future generations into our own organisations and infrastructure.
RASH is the National Research and Education Network of Albania. Established in 2007 following an Agreement between Albania and Italy, in 2011 RASH started operating nationally and in 2012 at international level becoming a full member of the GÉANT Association. In 2018, following an agreement between all the rectors and the Ministry of Education of Albania, RASH became an autonomous inter-institutional R&D centre for ICT.
RASH has developed in-house 10 software platforms for Higher Education, the NREN also builds and manages the academic network backbone and campus networks for public universities and research institutions in Albania. Its e-infrastructure is connected with the GÉANT network, RASH has also deployed in the country several GÉANT services supporting all scientific disciplines.
SYNERGIES AND CONNECTIONS
Launched in 2018, the Emerging NREN Programme, funded by the GÉANT Project, is a key feature of TNC. Its main goal is to integrate representatives from emerging NRENs worldwide into the TNC community, fostering collaborations and building connections at various organisational levels between European and international NRENs. For further information, please contact Luis Martin Flores at GÉANT.
The Future Talent Programme (FTP) provides a unique opportunity for students and young professionals to receive professional training to learn how to pitch their proposals and deliver a powerful presentation. For those selected to take part in the FTP’s Lightning Talk Challenge, participants will present their Lightning Talk on stage at TNC. For further information, please contact Lisa Melrose at GÉANT.
