Title: FINDING THE BALANCE: The role of NRENs to support education
The intention of this meeting is to collectively and individually reflect on the role of NRENs in supporting education, taking into account:
- our experiences related to lockdown and online transitioning to working and studying from home and
- looking at the immediate future (3-6 months from now) and deciding on the next steps.
The aim of the mini-conference is to create the space for collective and self reflection, learning from the past few months while looking at the future, hopefully finding the balance between newly discovered solutions and obsolete practices. In doing that we will look for:
- newly discovered processes, goals, tools and needs that we value and want to take with us in to the future;
- the obsolete or obstacle-creating practices that we willing to let go.
IMPORTANT: We are inviting you to join the co-creation of the agenda, by proposing:
- Lightning talks (5 min, 1-2 slides)
- Regular presentations (10-15 min)
- Open topics for conversations that you would love to host (20 min)
