The EaPConnect Project team meeting, hosted by ASNET-AM in Yerevan in October brought together partners from across the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region.
Irina Matthews, Project Manager of EaPConnect, opened the event by emphasising the critical need for sustainability in NRENs as EaP beneficiary partners transition into full-fledged members of GÉANT. How can NRENs be made sustainable? What drivers for change need to be identified?
Irina encouraged a forward-looking perspective, aligning national strategies with broader EU initiatives, and understanding the impact of Open Science on research and education communities.
The key to NREN sustainability lies in balance and engagement. NRENs operate in a complex landscape, influenced by stakeholders, policies, and external factors.
Richard Dennis from the University of Copenhagen discussed the role of NRENs in Open Science, emphasising data management and the implementation of FAIR principles.
Embracing change is essential. Chris Atherton from GÉANT introduced a design methodology-based approach for managing research engagement.
The journey of HEAnet the Irish NREN, showcased a blueprint for sustainability.
