What is the GÉANT community?

In a nutshell: the education and research networks of Europe. • We connect educational institutions to each other and to the

wider internet - not just technically, but in all the ways we need to help R&E happen. • We are networkers, T&I specialists, security experts, project

managers, marketers and more. • We work with the academic community, the business community,

governments and more to make this happen.
