Tripling down on learning: GÉANT’s Network eAcademy expands beyond Network Automation with Quantum and Time & Frequency courses | GÉANT CONNECT Online
The GÉANT (GN5-1) Project initiative elevating community expertise in advanced networking technologies keeps expanding its reach and growing, with new educational resources, additional learning units, and entire new programmes. In this article, we launch the Quantum Tech eAcademy, disclose plans for the upcoming Optical Time & Frequency Networks (OTFN) eAcademy, and provide updates on various
GÉANT CONNECT Online | The leading collaboration on e-infrastructure and services for research and educationAn exciting first meeting of the Special Interest Group for #TimeandFrequency took place at the University of Amsterdam, focusing on #metrology and the #science of accurate #time.
SIG-TFN looked into some challenging use cases from redefining the System of Units (SI), detecting #gravitational waves, testing new #physics and supporting European-wide commercial #services such as very accurate time stamps for banks to validate high-frequency trading.

SIG-TFN meet for the first time! | GÉANT CONNECT Online
The first ever SIG-TFN meeting took place on 16-17 October in Amsterdam, kindly hosted by the University of Amsterdam at their research and innovation hub - Science Park. SIG-TFN was established in February 2024 with the aim of providing a forum for the community working around Time and Frequency distribution across Research and Education Networks.
GÉANT CONNECT Online | The leading collaboration on e-infrastructure and services for research and educationSo much of fundamental #science relies on being able to measure everything with precision and virtually all these measures rely on #TimeMeasurement.
The GÉANT & #NRENs community will contribute to this during the GN5-2 project by developing a pan-European fibre-based #network to support the interconnection of #OpticalClocks.
A pathfinder project between Poznan (PSNC) & Braunschweig (PTB) has already been successfully completed!

Time and Frequency Pathfinder Study – Helping Redefine Time for the 21st Century | GÉANT CONNECT Online
“I’ll be a second”, “Can I borrow you for a second?”, “Have you got a second?”. Phrases we hear many times each day but what exactly is a second? Since, well time immemorial, we have been attempting to measure time to greater and greater degrees of precision and accuracy because so much of fundamental science
