Thursday 20th April 2023

SIG-NGN is the Special Interest Group on Next Generation Networks.

This meeting of the 11th meeting of the SIG will be held in Prague, Czech Republic.

Theme

"Large science experiments and networking futures"

SIG-NGN will be holding its 11th meeting as a in person workshop on 20 April 2023. The meeting will be hosted jointly with the LHCONE meeting in Prague. We will have invited speakers representing some of the largest science communities, including HEP, SKA, DOE presenting their future vision and requirements. As well, networking experts from the NREN community will present current and future network capabilities. The workshop will conclude with a discussion group to try and map requirements and capabilities, with a goal to leave both scientists and network engineers better informed about the future. Which is always bright.
