Global alliance to support Earth Observation just expanded 🌍🛰️

At #TNC26, TEIN*CC joined the growing coalition during the signature of the Helsinki Declaration.

Building on the foundations of the Katowice Declaration first signed in 2021, they join ASREN, GÉANT, RedCLARA, UbuntuNet Alliance, and WACREN — a truly global partnership of Regional Research and Education Networks (RRENs) committed to advancing Earth Observation for the benefit of society.

Last week was #TNC26, the research & education networking conference by @geant and it was a very busy week!
🎤 @restena shared about European HyperConnectivity & played an active role in the side meeting dedicated to the Special Interest Group on Information Security Management.
✍ @restena officially committed to co-hosting #TNC27 with Belnet next year!

🙏 Thanks again to @geant and CSC – IT Center for Science for this great TNC! See you in Liège at #TNC27. Restena will definitely be there 😉

To our 900+ participants from 70+ countries, to our host CSC, to our Programme Committee, organising teams, and partners — you made this week unforgettable.

Three days of conversations, connections, and collaboration.

🇫🇮 That's a wrap, #TNC26 – thank you, Helsinki!

A week full of insights, connections, and the collaborative spirit that defines our global research and education networking community.
From cybersecurity to resilience, from partnerships to shared progress – this year's theme #DigitalSisu truly came to life. And yes, some of us even proved our sisu on the Morning Run through Helsinki! 🏃
👏 Special thanks to the fantastic @geant Team & the CSC - IT Center for Science for being such a welcoming host!
