Why?
Two good reasons (there are many more…)
Innovation keeps GÉANT
products/services world class
Networks ∙ Services ∙ People

What did we learn?
connect • communicate • collaborate
‘Holistic’ management
framework enables success!
New partners = tangible
results/sustained impact for GÉANT
Networks ∙ Services ∙ People

What’s next? Sustained Impact
Project results already leading to tangible impacts
“Trustbroker has gone from a concept to a
“[SENSE] The impact of this project is
very significant”.

fully realized running code base along
with an IETF proposed RFC, as well as a
number of submitted papers which is a
testament to the focus and strength of the
team”
19
Conclusions: the Open Call Projects…
1. added significant value
to the GÉANT Community
2. the holistic support framework enabled
them to exceed expectations
3. delivered lasting benefits…
