The GCP is made up of TFs, SIGs, bespoke workshops and training, and collaborative projects and services designed to facilitate collaboration and the sharing of experiences between GÉANT, NRENs, other R&E bodies and members of the community. The GCP guides the future development of R&E services, technology and also a variety of non-technical topics for the GÉANT community.
The GCP is a grassroots, voluntary initiative built by world experts from NRENs, user organisations, research institutions, commercial and industrial sectors. TFs and SIGs provide an effective framework for forums to share information and best practices and to discuss possible innovations and further development of services.

The GÉANT Community Committee (GCC) has oversight of the GCP.
The objectives of the GCC are to:
- Mutually assist NRENs in providing students, lecturers and scientists the best possible Internet and ICT facilities, by e.g. sharing ideas, best practices, harmonising procedures, picking the best technologies, or jointly tackling an issue;
- Acting as a bridge maker between GÉANT and users in matters related to community-driven collaborative initiatives.
GÉANT honours community members who have made outstanding contributions to collaborative work and
the development of services and technologies. find out more
