SUBMIT A PROPOSAL
SUBMIT A PROPOSAL
The TNC23 Programme Committee welcomes proposals under the themes of networking, security, trust and identity, communities and collaboration, and supporting research and education, but the most important aspect is to be of relevance and use to the NREN community.
Proposals must be submitted electronically. By clicking on the ‘Submit’ buttons below, you will be automatically directed to the TNC Indico platform. Access to the electronic submission system is available with federated login.
TNC does not support any remote contributions as the conference is a networking in-person event. If in-person participation is not possible for you, please reach out to the event organisers before submitting your proposal.
Should you have any questions about the submission process, please contact Steffie Bosman: steffie.bosman (at) geant . org

‘Workshops’ – open and accessible to all – are full or half day meetings that bring the community together to discuss a topic of mutual interest. Examples from previous meetings include REFEDS and SIG-Marcomms. Workshops are typically multi-presenter meetings for a deep-dive into the relevant area.
These workshops, with maximum capacity for 150 participants, are expected to attract over 40 participants on average. The workshops will take place on Monday 5 June or Friday 9 June. The allocation of the date will be done by the TNC23 organisers and cannot be disputed.
Half day slot (9.00 –12.30 or 14.00 –17.30) or Full day (9.00 –17.30) slots are offered. The times of these slots cannot be modified.
Venue, catering and basic AV equipment (screen, projector and laptop) will be arranged by the TNC23 organisers at no further charge. Remote workshops will not be accepted. The workshop’s organiser and presenters will have to be physically present at the TNC23 venue.
Workshop participants will have to purchase a ticket for access the side meeting alongside the main TNC23 registration fee. More information on this can be soon be found on the ‘Register’ page.
All side meeting submissions will be reviewed by the TNC23 organisers.
