FTP Lightning Talk Challenge

The FTP Lightning Talk Challenge is a programme for young professionals and gives a chance to present ideas, projects or new methods to an international audience.

If  nominated to the programme by a GÉANT project partner, participants undergo series of professional public speaking training to master presentation skills and prepare for an effective delivery at the actual event.

TIM Programme

TIM (Trust and Identity Incubator Mentorship) is a programme that gives IT- and network students with a special interest in Trust and Identity (T&I) a chance to join the development of cutting-edge solutions in the Trust and Identity world.

The programme takes place in the form of a 6-months’ internship* at a local European NREN who takes part in the GÉANT project.

Talents work together with subject matter experts (SME’s) to pioneer new ideas in the so called T&I incubator and contribute to a viable and sustainable pipeline of T&I products and services for the GÉANT project.

*The internship is paid and includes any necessary professional development training.

More information on the programme is available at TIM Programme
