Description:

The purpose of eduVPN is to provide a more secure access to public and private networks for the international research and education community. The essential eduVPN user experience should be: “open your laptop and be securely online”. eduVPN service instances offered by NRENs or universities, research labs, etc. allow students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain a VPN on their devices to known end-points to access private or public networks across the world.

Objective:

The objective of this workshop is to raise awareness among decision makers about eduVPN, describe its value proposition and show eduVPN’s benefit for NRENs and their users. This training covers a technical presentation of eduVPN and hands-on exercises to deploy, configure and join eduVPN community.

Target audience: The workshop will be split in two parts

• Part 1 : For NREN decision makers (CEOs and CTOs) and technical teams from EaPConnect and SEE NRENs
• Part 2 : engineers and technicians interested to actually deploy eduVPN at their NREN or help their institutions to deploy eduVPN from EaPConnect and SEE NRENs

Dates:

• Part 1: 24 February 2022, 11:00-13:00 CET
