GNA-G Community VCs Q3 2025

The next Community Video Conferences (VCs) for the Global (R&E) Network Advancement Group (GNA-G) are scheduled to take place online using Zoom on 21-22 October, 2025.

The topic of the Community VC is research engagement.

The aim of the Community VCs is 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 maintain forward progress in the time of the pandemic, and deal with the ongoing transformations it will leave in its wake;
• Provide opportunities to join one or more efforts through our working groups and sustain and strengthen our global mission.

Like the previous Community VCs, we will be using Zoom.
