Research and education networking is not just about network connectivity — it is an enabling platform for science and innovation across
disciplines. This session explores how NRENs support our diverse and
expanding community: from space research and Arctic monitoring to
performing arts, biobanks, and advanced computing. Through a set of concrete examples, we will look at how networks, data
infrastructures, and trusted collaboration frameworks are evolving to
meet emerging needs — including secure access to sensitive data,
large-scale HPC and AI workloads, digital twins, and new cross-border
requirements driven by real-world incidents and resilience challenges.
