Innovation is important an aspect of any technical area. The T&I team manages innovation via the Incubator task, which aims to investigate new T&I related technologies that have no place (yet) in the services ecosystem of GÉANT.

It is also important to engage with the wider community to get inputs for new areas to explore, new services' features and to understand stakeholders' needs. This is done via the Enabling Communities task. 

In addition, the Operational Support task offers operational support primarily to services.
