Description
Time distribution has traditionally relied on satellite-based synchronization via GNSS. Over the past decade, dedicated optical links have been deployed, enabling ultra-precise time and frequency transfer over fiber. In today’s evolving security landscape, the need for resilient and independent timing infrastructure is more critical than ever. This session explores the development of national R&E time and frequency networks and efforts to interconnect the Nordic region—and eventually the rest of Europe. We also present the future outlook of the ongoing incubator project driving this initiative forward.

Description
Collaboration has been the cornerstone of the NORDUnet community since the very beginning, and this long history is still reflected in some of the systems we use today. Over the past two years, the Nordic NRENs have worked together to modernize monitoring systems, enabling cross-domain visibility across both optical and packet layers. This includes the collaborative support provided between NRENs, especially when resources are scarce.

Description
Distribution of high-precision time signals over wide area networks is an area of growing importance, and has seen significant technology evolution in recent years.
In this workshop, we will discuss two key aspects of high-precision time distribution:
synchronisation of national time sources ("atom clocks") of dedicated optical fibre networks
Provision of high-precision time services, a matter if significant important for both research instruments and national security
The focus will be on
reports on activities in the nordic countries from NRENs, National Metrology Institutes (NMIs), and other stakeholders
discussion of opportunities, goals, and strategies for Nordic collaborations and alignment with and connection to similar activities in the EU.
The workshop is primarily intended for staff from NRENs, NMIs, and other providers, as well as technology experts from the Nordic countries and elsewhere.
A program will be published towards the end of August.
This meeting will run from 10:00 - 16:00

Description
Research networks have developed expertise in optical networking since the early 2000s. Light properties such as phase and scattering have traditionally supported data transport and fiber monitoring, but these phenomena can also be harnessed to extract environmental changes. Over the past five years, fiber optic sensing has rapidly evolved from concept to practice, with multiple NRENs now actively engaged in the field. This session presents researchers' experiences, outlines requirements for NREN network planning, and explores data analysis approaches using machine learning and AI.

Trust & Identity 2 - From national federations to wallets
- Everest 2

- Track
- Track 2
Description
As the large-scale pilots on wallets are coming to an end, it would be valuable to understand which infrastructure is needed to use ID wallets in parallel to what is needed for research and education. The aim is to start a Nordic pilot to reuse as much as possible what is being used in the large scale pilot. The first aspect of the pilot would be to design an architecture; this architecture should allow each Nordic country to use their ‘preferred’ wallets. The main output of the pilot would be: - give NRENs an understanding on how the the wallets will work - assess how to use national infra for research - understand how much synergy there could be with the gov wallets - understand what kind of credential we can be used - start to look at interop aspects across countries from the wallet perspective and credential perspective. - agree on a timeline for the pilot.

Trust & Identity 3 -Federating via OpenID Federation

- Track
- Track 2
Description
For over two decades, SAML has been a cornerstone of our community, and it will continue to serve us for some time. However, as the protocol is now considered legacy, it's time to explore its successor. OpenID Connect and OAuth2 have dominated discussions for the past decade, yet they have primarily relied on bilateral configurations rather than the federated approach our community is accustomed to. With the introduction of OpenID Federation (OIDF), this is set to change, enabling scalable implementations of OpenID Connect and OAuth2. This session will introduce the new kid on the block and explore how we might integrate it into eduGAIN as a parallel solution, coexisting with the established SAML federation.

Description
The terabit era is approaching fast—and it's better to be prepared than caught off guard. While initiatives like EuroHPC AI Factories and Hyperconnectivity are driving this shift, it's essential not to overlook traditional user communities such as high-energy physics. This session explores the requirements, implementations, and strategies needed to step into the terabit era—without forgetting the critical role of security.
