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. 

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
