Dear all,
Preparations for NCW27 have started. As you know, the workshop is where the NORDUnet community comes together to talk in a more informal setting. Please have a look at last NCW programme for reference: https://nordu.net/ncw2025/programme/
Before we shape the programme, we would like your input on the topics that should be covered in the next NCW. At this stage we only need placeholder topics: no detailed descriptions or speaker lists yet. We would also welcome volunteers to help shape the content of the sessions later on.
As usual, the format will be:
Monday: meetings for activities such as SIGs, CAG, project meetings, eduroam, NOC and SOC, etc. These can take from half a day to a full day.
Tuesday–Thursday: sessions on activities we work on together as Nordics, we would like to start working on together, or simply want to update each other about. Each topic can have max two 90-minute sessions (so 180 minutes in total). If you would like to discuss something and you need less than 2x90 min, then it would be better to request a side meeting see below.
Side meetings: you can organise meetings outside the programme, as well as in parallel with it, for last-minute discussions. We will send a separate request for these later on so we can accommodate everyone.
Lightning talks: last time we had two “thunder” sessions, we plan to do the same this time around.
We would kindly ask you to use this link to add your suggestions so we can then keep track of what is proposed by whom (and get back to you): https://web.tresorit.com/l/EVYr4#Bt_2lwJ8cFBtGW05RzACbA
TIMELINES
The ideal timeline is as follows:
Wed 18 NOV first indication about areas for the sessions from the various groups
Tue 24 NOV preliminary NCW27 Skeleton shared with the CAG
End of JAN Sessions + sessions owners/responsible identified
End of FEB final round review
Mid MAR Draft programme published and registration open
Many thanks for your input!
Best,
Licia

>> Subject: 2nd GÉANT GN5-2 Project Survey about Digital Wallets
>> Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 11:48:31 +0200
>>
>> Dear NREN CTO and Research and Education sector members,
>>
>> I hope this message finds you well.
>>
>> We are writing to you on behalf of the GEANT GN5-2 project, specifically from the Trust and Identity Work Package 5 (WP5) – Wallets Team. Our team is exploring and developing solutions around digital identity wallets for the education and research (R&E) sector in Europe.
>>
>> Last year we kindly requested your participation in our first survey about this topic. Following the multiple developments of the digital wallets in our communities after our last year survey, we would like to consult you this time about the current status of digital wallets in your organisation or the research and education communities it serves.
>>
>> With this in mind we have created a short questionnaire (s. below). We would be very grateful if you could complete the questionnaire as far as you are able, and return it to my address (ruiz_ben(a)dfn.de) by the 6th of November.
>>
>> All input is valuable to us, so if you’re only able to answer some of the questions, please do so.
>>
>> We would like to disseminate the collected information to keep NRENs up-to-date on the rapid changes occurring in the development of digital wallets and their implications for the research and education sector.
>>
>> The results from the survey will be published on the GÉANT wiki, along with all the other information we have gathered from this task.
>>
>> https://wiki.geant.org/spaces/G52W5/pages/958103668/Subtask+-+Wallets
>>
>> If you are not the appropriate contact, we would appreciate it if you could forward this request to the relevant person or team.
>>
>> Please, contact us in case you have any question.
>>
>> Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation!
>>
>> We look forward to your response.
>>
>> Best regards,
>>

Dear all,
You should all have received an invite for the call in Nov.
There is still some time for the agenda, but if you have topics in mind can you please share them on the list?
One of things we will cover is the GEANT CTO workshop and related papers.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Cheers,
Licia

Dear all,
This is to let you now that we have now a date for the strategy meeting.
As I mentioned before, participation to this event is limited in order to maintain a balance among all the Nordic NRENs and to ensure we can keep the meeting interactive. We will of course share a summary of the meeting via this list.
I would like to also schedule another meeting before the GEANT CTO workshop possibly.
I have created a poll: https://evento.renater.fr/survey/nordic-ti-call-ij9nb8ty
Have a nice weekend,
Licia

Dear all,
As you may remember, we agreed to use NDN26 to further discuss the preparation of the T&I strategy workshop.
We had representatives from all NRNEs but CSC (Juha joined the end of the meeting)
We discussed 4 main things, as described below.
1. Overview of the priority for each NREN
SUNET:
Wallets with the aim to have a wallet in prod by next summer. Note that the focus is NOT on the wallet but on using the wallet to add PINs, RPs etc.
Opened fed in prod supporting both edugain and the wallet.
Sunet is supporting national infra, such as eidAS node, which is being migrated from SAML to OIDC.
IDPHY - moving to a new stack.
Looking at trust as assurance.
SIKT
Feide is expanding. Working with evaluation is digital services used in the education to validate security and data handling. Funding coming from the government to support lower education and municipalities.
Alternative to LDAPs used for uni cat.
Wallets of course and refresh tokens.
Life long learning.
Student mobility.
DeiC
easyID makes eIDAS possible (ie access for foreigners to DK public services).
State has a public wallet for age validation but also does identity validation which is an alternative to the commercial one MitID free to use for users but paid for services.
Redundancy of services.
Lot of work on compliance.
Looking at HSM as a service.
Libraries ready to move to fed ID.
SPs often bypass Deic and connect directly to the IdP. Risk for the long term.
2. Topics for the Workshop - we have identified the following topics
Wallet
Trusted infra how does it look it
Life long learning
Student mobility and id
Certifications with ISO
Stakeholder engagement
Sovereignty
3 Goal
Rethink value proposition /infosharing
Go through the topics listed and explore potential collaboration.
Overall strategy for each NREN and how to engage better and agree how to make this continue.
Share info on activities and representations and standardisation. As
How do we keep track of what happens.
Facilitator from Sikt.
Refeds future and TIIME.
4. DATES and Venue
We agreed to host the event in NDN new offices.
We have identified 3 possible weeks:
Week of the 9th Nov (the week before there is a SIG public affairs in NDN office)
Week of the 23 Nov (there is a CAG meeting on the 24th which can be in NDN office too) - so maybe an option for those of us in the CAG too?
First week of Dec
Can you please indicate if you see any clashes ? And for CSC colleagues, can you please see if these dates suit you?
We are aiming at max 4 people for NRENs.
Best,
Licia
