GNA-G Community Meeting

GNA-G is delighted to invite you to its community meeting.

The Global Network Advancement Group (GNA-G) (https://www.gna-g.net/) is a community of network professionals from the R&E organisations from all over the world. Working in per-topic groups, its goal is to collaborate to align resources and make the continent-to-continent interconnections more efficient for global science collaborations and transnational education. GNA-G welcomes the participation of network architects and engineers, GXP operators and network researchers from R&E networks around the world. 

At the TNC23 meeting, we would present the results of our working groups (https://www.gna-g.net/working-groups/), followed by a discussion and feedback gathering. The meeting at TNC22 was well attended and praised for the content and discussion with the wish to repeat it at TNC23.

Please be aware that this side meeting will take place at the Rogner Hotel in the Vienna room and not at the TNC23 main venue Palace of Congresses, which is located just next to it.
