Information and resources that could be useful to research and education networkers in these times of COVID-19 are being rapidly pulled together by the GÉANT community. Please feel free to explore the resources, join relevant online meetings and send us any useful updates.
Representatives of national research and education networks, universities and other organisations who participate in GÉANT Community Programme working groups are re-focusing the groups’ efforts in order to address the challenging COVID-19 situation.
With a goal to share best practices and resources where possible, GÉANT Task Forces (TFs) and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are collecting information that could be useful to each other, and gearing up the use of online meeting spaces.
