The GÉANT Annual Report 2025 has been published following approval at the General Assembly (GA) meeting held in Helsinki, at the start of the TNC26 week.
Welcome words from the Chair of the Board Gilles Massen and GÉANT CEO Lise Fuhr set the context for what was an extremely busy year and one which helped set the future direction of the GÉANT Association, culminating in the launch this week of the GÉANT Association Strategy for 2026-2030.
As Gilles states in his welcome:
“2025 has been a year of progress for the GÉANT community—a year in which we balanced deep strategic thinking with the practical reality of delivering for Europe’s research and education landscape. As Chair of the Board, I am proud to reflect on how our community once again demonstrated its ability to unite around shared challenges, embrace change, and prepare for the future with confidence.”
And Lise adds:
“… progress this year was not only strategic or technological—it was also deeply human. The launch of the Humanitarian Support Group for NRENs stands as a powerful reflection of our community’s values. It reinforces what many of us know instinctively: the strength of GÉANT lies not only in its physical networks but in its human networks too.”
As the world continues to change, this strength will continue to stand us all in good stead.
2026 will be another very busy year! We hope you enjoy the report, and we welcome your comments.
