| The Network eAcademy (NeA) offers knowledge sharing and exchange between GÉANT, NRENs, and organisations and is intended to serve as an umbrella platform to discuss several activities, such as the production and promotion of content around orchestration, automation and virtualisation (OAV), of architecture analysis and terminology documents, of an OAV Maturity Model and an OAV Community Portal and, most notably, of a popular and far-reaching series of training programmes developed “from the community and for the community”. There is also a new GNA-G Network eAcademy Working Group that was formed with the objective to make the current contents and tools of the Network eAcademy available to the entire research and education community.

| Our model defines four main dimensions that describe different aspects of OAV, each further specified using subdimensions that highlight the important OAV areas of each dimension. The short and long descriptions of stages for each subdimensions help quickly identify the current status in the organisation and the main tasks that need to be accomplished in order to advance to the next level.

| A high-level architectural blueprint (the TM Forum Open Digital Architecture, or ODA), provides R&E institutions with an easy way to understand and compare the architectures of their Network Management (NMS), Operations and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) and helps guide community efforts towards the creation of interoperable systems and operations.

| During our discussions with NRENs it became clear that there are OAV terms that are being used in different ways and in some cases with slightly different meaning and understanding. In order to have a common basis we decided to identify a list of relevant OAV terms and add a short definition with a reference link (source) for each term as well as an acronym table. Read more... |

| Research and Education Networks and institutions around the globe are facing the same challenges as in the GÉANT community. As Artificial Intelligence strikes in all areas, new tools arise, others disappear or stop being used, and with the daily operations of the network, an up-to-date training programme with inputs from actors in all the regions of the world is a must. Therefore a new GNA-G Network eAcademy Working Group was formed with the objective to make the current contents and tools of the Network eAcademy available to the entire research and education community.
