Workshop Objective

CTO workshops guide what NREN and GÉANT do together, not just for the GN5x project, but in general.

Maximise discussion time to discuss the prioritised collaboration topics within the GN5-2 but also those not included, such as education and AI (presentations 30 min vs discussions 90 min)

The workshop outcome is an agreement on the current roadmap and the priorities for upcoming multi-year community collaboration.
