As a partner, CESNET participated in the organization of Open Science Week 2023 in a hybrid form. More than 1000 participants have been connected remotely through our infrastructure.
Open Science Week is an event that presents topics related to open science, research data management, open access and legal aspects of open science.

We welcomed an important visitor to CESNET. Erik Huizer, CEO of Géant, a pan-European network for research and education, arrived. Together with colleague Beatrix Weber, Head of Partnerships, they toured the SageLab, Optical and QKD Labs. At the joint meeting, the strategy and future direction of Géant was presented and cooperation in the research areas of QKD, AAI and metrology was outlined.

At this year’s Linux Days CESNET presented itself in the colours of the e-INFRA CZ consortium. Together with our partners, CERIT-SC from Brno and IT4I from Ostrava, we have introduced a range of services for demanding computations, data storage and complex multimedia environment for collaboration of scientists and research teams.

The just completed European C-SCALE project has achieved its goal of creating a federation of partners that bring together archives of Earth observation data with providers of computing resources for further processing of these data. As a result of the project, new services are now available on the EOSC portal. You can read more about the project in our new press release.
Today, at approximately 12:10 p.m., due to a power outage at the hall in Zikova Street in Prague, the availability of some services was limited. We are working hard to fix it.
Update 13:12: electricity repair done (at about 13:00), services are gradually coming up.
Today, on October 2, at 12 o’clock sharp, the next edition of the successful CTF competition The Catch begins. This time, our colleagues from the Forensic Laboratory will take us on a ship full of sophisticated network technologies, where the contestants will have to master challenging tasks. The ship bears the name of our great colleague Josef Verich – networking guru. Traditionally, the competition is held in October – the cybersecurity month.
PLAY!
