Making Waves
Waves can build up and break down shorelines, their impact is transformative and powerful. Similarly digital technologies impact Research & Education with their transformative and disruptive capabilities.
NRENs across the globe connect the teams delivering discoveries that impact and improve our lives via some of the
fastest data networks, the most trusted identity services and collaboration initiatives. NRENs inspire, disrupt, make waves and enable progress.
TNC for the first time?
TNC, GÉANT’s flagship event, is the largest and most prestigious Research & Education networking conference.
TNC presents participants with a unique overview of the latest developments in research networking, both in the
technical field and in the area of application and management. Every year TNC brings together a wide cross
section of specialists from a variety of roles in the areas of networking, Trust & Identity, access management and
more from all NRENs, universities, research organisations and institutions, and industry.
TNC21, the conference’s 36th edition, will take place on 21-25 June 2021 and will be fully online for the first time
in the history of TNC due to restrictions caused by the COVID pandemic.
