The first session opens with our distinguished panelists - Inder Monga (ESNet), Valter Nordh (NORDUnet), Lisandro Zambenedetti Granville (RNP), Alexander Van Den Hill (SURF) and Bram Peeters (GÉANT) and continues after the break in the second session where the discussion will continue on the areas of extensive collaboration - existing in the form of working groups, special interest groups and consortiums, and possible future work.
