Our #Archiving & Digital Preservation group are sharing their work next week #OpenRepos2025 Paul Stokes @jisc.bsky.social‬ will deliver a 7 minute lightning talk that discusses barriers to the institutional repository network & asks how far is integration possible? 👉

And just like that... It's the final day of #TNC25. With sessions on being a sustainable NREN, more lightning talks and handing over the baton to the 2026 hosts, it's going to be a great day.

We're pleased to welcome everyone at #TNC25 to the conference dinner. Get your chippy tea, donuts and go on the rides for your classic day out at the seaside! 🏖️

Rounding off day two is Peter Kent and Matthew Slowe with two insightful lightning talks, on the Geant twinning programme and SAML assertion. #TNC25

A great Day 1 of @jisc.bsky.social Connect More 2025. For me, a common thread has been the journey from concept to practical implementation. I've heard how to develop digital skills pragmatically, how to approach digital assessment in practice, and how to do XR and app development in the real-world.
