GÉANT Community Principles

GÉANT Community Principles provide a vehicle to align thinking within NRENs, and to carry out targeted activities as a community in a way which does not fit any of the current formats. The work is intended to support and enhance the current portfolio of task forces and SIGs whilst allowing focus on a different direction.

Principles will be created when there is a strategic agenda in a specific space on which it would be beneficial for NRENs to align. They will create not only a shared understanding of our position on a specific topic, but allow us to focus on specific joint actions to move forward within that space as a community. Areas where this approach may be beneficial include gender equality, open source, green actions, and other actions related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We actively invite NRENs and other affiliated organisations to sign up, endorse the principles and participate in the programmes or work around each principle.  For more information about how to do this, please visit the individual pages belo
