Future Talent Programme 2024 - Registration
2023-12-11 10:00 - 2024-02-01 12:00 (Europe/London) | 85748 Garching bei München
The Future Talent Programme: FTP Lightning Talk Challenge is a programme for young professionals that provides a chance to present ideas, projects or new methods to an international audience.
Participants will undergo a series of professional public speaking training to master presentation skills, and prepare for an effective delivery at TNC24 in Rennes, France (10-14 June 2024). The largest and most prestigious research and education networking conference, TNC attracts a truly diverse audience of over 800 participants from more than 70 countries. Attendees represent national and regional research and education networks, schools and universities, technology providers, and many of the world’s most exciting scientific projects.
The students/young professional candidates must be registered by a representative of a GÉANT Project NREN. A brief description of the Lightning Talk idea, contact details of the candidate and related university or college will be required at registration.

Trust and Identity Mentorship Programme | Deadline 27 March 2024
2024-02-19 - 2024-03-27 | 85748 Garching bei München
The Trust and Identity (T&I) Mentorship Programme (TIM) is an exciting initiative that brings together ambitious young minds and industry experts to develop new ideas in Trust and Identity.
Funded by the GÉANT GN5.1 project (which is supported by the European Commission and by GEANT’s member NRENs), the Trust and Identity Mentorship Programme is a paid internship/work placement for students and young professionals who are interested in T&I and are studying (or have recently studied) computer science, engineering or a related field.

Infoshare: OSS Licensing and Licence Compliance Guidelines for Software Developers
2024-03-12 11:00 - 11:45 (Europe/Amsterdam) | 85748 Garching bei München
This infoshare concentrates on licence selection, management, and related software project artefacts, with a focus on the “Software Licence Selection and Management in GÉANT” guidelines for software developers. It also spotlights descriptions and discussions on the compatibility of common Open Source Software (OSS) licences used in GÉANT software and summarised in “Important Licences for Licence Selection.” The objective is to promote the practical use of these materials, providing an overview of efficient preparation, information gathering, and proper software licensing.
The session will give participants insights into complying with a selected licence, offering detailed implementation instructions from a developer’s perspective, along with in-depth information on creating essential licensing artefacts. Additionally, the infoshare emphasises vulnerabilities and licensing issues related to third-party libraries, as well as the support provided by WP9 Task 2 and the IPR Coordinator through Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Software Licence Analysis (SLA) services.

School of Software Engineering (SSE2024) – Designing next generation architecture
2024-05-21 09:00 - 2024-05-23 17:00 UTC | LRZ, Lebiniz Supercomputing Centre, Boltzmannstraße 1,, 85748 Garching bei München, Germany
GN5-1-WP9-T2 are continuing with the next in the series of annual SSE training events. Previous topics have included deploying scalable applications in Kubernetes-based environments. This year topics will continue to look at key areas of interest to the community.
On the first day, we will focus on applying the heuristic of decomposition, breaking down the system into smaller modules to achieve effective modularization. In this context, we will discuss in detail the issues with Kuba Nabrdalik and identify the areas that have been covered. We will also dedicate time to analysing and solving problems related to system distribution.
On the second day, we will concentrate on tactical modelling, ensuring coherence, a logical structure of processes, and clear presentation logic. We will also analyse techniques that contribute to the efficient design of systems. This involves modelling one of the modules in more detail.
On the third day, we expand the theme from the second day to integration. We will conduct contract tests, and discuss event handling, queue management, and the implementation of RESTful API.
The workshop is open to GN5-1 Project members involved in developing software and interested in improving the external quality of their products. The workshop will take place over three days, kindly hosted by our colleagues at LRZ – Lebiniz Supercomputing Centre.
The attendance of the SSE workshop can be funded through GN5-1-WP1-T5 (GLAD). You can find more information on how to fund your learning at the following link: Funding for Project Learning
