GÉANT2 PR Network meets to “Connect, Communicate and Collaborate”

Following the GÉANT2 slogan to “Connect, Communicate and Collaborate” the first GÉANT2 PR network meeting was held in Estonia on 28th September, 2005.

The PR Network has been created as a way of increasing collaboration and exchange of experience between the project partners' communication teams. The meeting provided a general introduction to the project, outlined products developed so far for GÉANT2, and explored ideas for future communications activities. One of the main foci of the meeting was a discussion forum on how to communicate with GÉANT2’s end users and the user-segmentation activity.

A PR Network kit has been developed to assist PRs from across the NRENs in disseminating information about GÉANT2. This includes a downloadable press kit with logos, maps and background information. It also includes a priority order form for requesting brochures and conference material such as pull-up displays and the exhibition stand. The resources and services made available to project partner PR people will expand and develop over time.
