Update
Date: 04 March 2025
Location: PSNC
- ul. Jana Pawła II 10 , 61-139 Poznan, Poland
Aim:
• To reflect on the journey travelled (10 years of the EaPConnect project) – how the project activities and achievements created a
foundation and springboard for the future
• To acknowledge the contributions and role of the EaP NRENs and project stakeholders in the transformation of the EaP NRENs and their
eco-system
• To bring together the collective thinking on factors for success as well as challenges (and ways to meet them) to continue forward
movement
The event concept is based on the metaphor of the ship launching ceremony whereby there is a public celebration of successful joint efforts to
build a ship (part 1) which now is ready to chart its own course (part 2).
