What can FTP do for students?

Students will be able to develop their professional skills working, connecting and interacting with the GÉANT community and other recipients across Europe and as such develop employability skills and strengthen their CVs.

What can FTP do for NRENs?

Our approach enables NRENs to play a major role in developing young people’s skills and inspire their fresh thinking and great ideas. By participating in the Future Talent Programme, NRENs can strengthen the relation with their universities and other educational institutions, motivate high quality talents and get them excited about their research and education networking.

Within the Future Talent Programme, Learning and Development offers two initiatives. Both are targeting TNC18, an international conference for global networking professionals, and both are made possible through a collaboration between GÉANT L&D, GÉANT project partners, young professionals and TNC Programme Committee.

Initiative 1: Lightning Talk Challenge - Get on Stage!

Initiative 2: Poster Pursuit - Clarify your message! Visualise the meaning!
