The Global Network Advancement Group (GNA-G) is a community of network professionals from the Research & Education (Networking) organisations from all over the world. The Group’s goal is to work together to better align resources and make the continent-to-continent interconnections more efficient for global science collaborations and transnational education.
For this purpose, the GNA-G organises quarterly Community Video Conferences, which aim to:
- Bring ongoing progress and advancements to the attention of the worldwide R&E Network, Science, and Computer Science communities;
- Foster deeper engagement within and among the communities, bringing mutual benefit for more effective operations now, and for the future vision of next generation networks and workflows;
- Synergize the efforts and leverage the progress of the GNA-G Working Groups and discover new opportunities for advancement while avoiding unnecessary overlaps;
- Provide a wide-ranging focus and synergy, tools and services for the global ensembles of research and education networks, present and future;
- Sustain the conversation and progress, including dealing with ongoing transformations from the pandemic;
- Provide opportunities to join one or more efforts through our working groups and sustain and strengthen our global mission.
The next Community VCs will take place on the 17th and 18th of February 2026. For more information, please visit: https://events.geant.org/event/2068/ and https://events.geant.org/event/2069/
