The Tech 2 Tech workshop programme was launched in 2018 to help inform members and customers about the Janet access programme which delivers a new connectivity architecture and enables the development of new services.

Technology and innovation meetups
Following the success of the first round of Tech 2 Tech workshops, we’ve launched a second round of events taking place online and across the UK.
At these workshops, you can explore broader emerging connectivity approaches and new technologies to help you interpret how they can be beneficial to your organisation. It’s also an opportunity for experts from Jisc to understand your technical requirements so we can shape our service developments around your future needs.
Upcoming events
- 26 March 2021 - Tech 2 Tech - European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) - online
- 20 April 2021 – IPv6 - online
- 24 May 2021 - Network performance - online

Help shape the programme
In these one-hour webinars, we’ll cover a broad range of topics and subjects that matter the most to you.
Some of the ideas for the programme this year include:
- The EOSC-hub
- IPv6 - how to get started, the business case and drivers for its rollout, as well as where the UK is with it's adoption
- PerfSONAR, MTU trouble shooting and war stories from the Janet NOC
- Netsight3 update
- NetBox - its use and reflections
As ever, we are keen to hear from members and customers about your e-infrastructure plans, projects, pain and programmes - warts and all!
