Side Meeting: Collaboration During Crisis
- Charlie van Genuchten (SURF)
Description
In March 2026, we will hold the first simulation crisis exercise with max 10 European NRENs. During this exercise, we will test how we would work together as NRENs in case of a joint crisis. To prepare for this (and to see how we can make steps to strengthen our collaboration) we will discuss the following questions in this side meeting:
How do we work together during a crisis right now?
What kind of coordination do we have right now in case a crisis would hit us that impacts multiple/all NRENs?
How can we tackle this subject in a first European NREN crisis exercise? What scenarios would be interesting to tackle?
The input we get from this side meeting will be used to create the exercise in March 2026 as well as steps to take as a broader community to further our collaboration in crisis. This side meeting will most likely be a continuation of discussions held in the 'Exercise your Crisis' parallel session on Wednesday, and the 'Information Sharing' plenary session on Thursday.
