ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
On 14 October 2025, GÉANT will host a Multistakeholder Policy Conference in Brussels, bringing together policymakers, research infrastructure stakeholders, and the National Research and Education Networks community.
With diverse panels and real-world success stories, we want to highlight GÉANT’s impact today and future ambitions for the next generation of science, innovation, and education. Join us in Brussels to discuss the policies and investments that will drive Europe’s digital transformation!

- Showcase the impact of the GÉANT ecosystem across key European digital policy areas
- Strengthen collaboration and shared understanding between decision-makers and the GÉANT community
- Discuss future needs for infrastructure, services, and funding
- Explore how GÉANT is evolving the network, trust & identity services, and the technologies of the future
Join us as we shape the policies and partnerships that will define Europe’s digital future.
