Every year, a new group of students & recent graduates joins the GÉANT Trust & Identity community. Not as observers, but as contributors working on real challenges alongside experts from GÉANT & European #NRENs.

That's what the Trust & Identity Incubator Mentorship (TIM) programme is about.

Cycle 12 is now open, and we're looking for the next group of curious, motivated students ready to take that step.
