Earlier on this year GÉANT announced the decision that TNC21 will take place on 21-25 June and will be completely online and free of charge for all participants.
Registrations opened on 1 March with the announcement of the preliminary programme, which, over the course of five days, will feature an interesting selection of live and on-demand content. From keynotes and demos, to lightning talks and fun virtual networking activities, the programme will cover a wide range of topics and provide a snapshot of the activities in the global Research & Education community.
“We are honoured to announce this year’s prestigious keynote speakers who will bring to TNC21 a global perspective across a variety of fields” – Sabine Jaume Rajaonia, RENATER, TNC21 Programme Committee Chair.
