GARR CONFERENCE 2025

Call for proposal

Digital Frontiers

shared and independent infrastructures for the future of research

Contribute to the GARR Conference and take part as a speaker by sharing your experience in using digital infrastructures and services in the academic or research sector. This edition will explore the complex relationship between infrastructures and digital frontiers in a context where technological challenges have social, economic, and geopolitical impacts.
We will examine which resources and tools can help research address the major scientific, social, and environmental questions of our time, while also identifying any challenges we have yet to tackle—so we can begin to do so together. Topics will include digital sovereignty, artificial intelligence, data security, infrastructures and digital services, and their accessibility on both national and global scales.
