The favourable early-bird registration fee for the NORDUnet Technical Workshop is about to expire!

This year's programme offers even more workshops and sessions that offer space for the NREN community and related campus staff to tackle the challenges of growth and new regulations in the coming years. Besides the advantage of the early bird fee we strongly recommend you to register as soon as possible to safeguard your seat in all the workshops that fit you. Some of them are close to being oversubscribed.

This year’s NORDUnet Technical Workshop (NTW) will run from 24-26 September with selected side meetings on 23 & 27 September. If you work with networking, infrastructure or services for research and education in the Nordic countries, this workshop is for you.

Competitive Supercomputer to be placed in Finland

NORDUnet congratulates Finnish CSC on being selected to host a pan-European high-performance supercomputer at their datacenter in Kajaani. Not only will this position Finland, but the entire Europe as one of the world leaders in supercomputing, enabling European researchers to access world-class computing resources.

NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs have agreed a major redesign and upgrade of the NORDUnet backbone in Europe and the Nordic countries. The network will allow NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs to meet the growing demands for capacity, availability, and low latency from the research and education sector. By sharing infrastructure, NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs will meet these additional demands without increasing cost. The new network was approved by the NORDUnet board on 26 March 2019; the implementation will be launched immediately.
