National research networks must work closely with the universities as we are challenged with supporting advanced research (LHC data flows and grids) at the same level as digital native students (social media, podcast lectures).

Editor's Notes
- In the closing plenary we will look at the core mission of universities: education and research. The strategic implications for national research networks is open for interpretation. We are challenged with supporting advanced research (LHC data flows and grids) at the same level as digital native students (social media, podcast lectures).
- A whole week of conferencing and meeting, and then what? Are the NRENs doing what we should? I think we should have a more solid interaction with the campus ICT infrastructure. I believe that we need to pay more attention to our largest user group: the students
- Norway: small country, small population, not easy to do high bandwidth We have a tradition for collaboration on ICT solutions in the HEI space, this goes way back. May come from the fact that there as so few of us.
- See all the lights in Norway? We light up like UK, Netherlands or Germany; but there are only a bare 5 million of us. This tells you - electricity is cheap in Norway - people live spread out - there is plenty of geography to cover There are around 100 campus sites all over the country, with an additional 73 municipalities that have their own «study centers» due to the fact that they lack a college campus site.
- Problem statement: Invasion of digital natives Major migration, not going away Technology has moved away from campus and into the real lives of our users Networks must change new expectations support new tech, then move on let professors do their job – with some help network effects
- Did we try to do roll-out the same way for everything that we did for high bandwidth? And that does not work because of the span in applications? We spent all the money, all the engineering on one The network stuff worked because it was one app that we could engineer, and get deployed by clever engineering. You need the same amount of engineering for each and every app? Grace period for network rollout was 10 years, today an app has about 18 months. Go into campus and apply what we know works, make a positive changes Network is a natural monopoly, not the case for applications and services. Which ones are monopolies? Where do we have to interact with campus, because we need mentality change
- University stuff is supposed to be open, there are few closed information spaces. Does organizational security really matter? Uninett is doing all of this (not so much lamda), to ensure that our users get the services they need. On the other hand, there are few multicast users
- Uninett never deployed just bandwidth, the Internet was connectivity AND services
- Are we dinos?
- Technology has escaped from campus, and into the lives and minds of our user population Chad Kainz'convenience: we've made all this stuff seem easy' - a rod for our own back for the forthcoming years? google does it, why can't you? Internet2 : Lots of great advanced technology out there deployed in pockets Great at custom demos that show off incredible bandwidth, high quality video, seemless authentication, … Not so great at making this all available to normal end users at their desks Users often need to become network experts to make all of this work Previous model: we did our work in the network core, now if only campuses and regionals would do their part… New model: joint effort to make technology work end to end
- Network effects interaction rule the outcome, not the actors exponential growth is natural Content is king, but context rules (Vijay Kumar) Why are there research networks? How does campus infrastructure and national research and education networks interact? How to support the key goals of universities: Knowledge dissemination Education Research
- Hannes Lubich on social media in the opening plenary - students use technology very different from what we provide as a service - if somebody complains about me in ten years time, when I apply for a job, I would not work for them anyway - gen Y and millennials - social networking is here to stay Andrew Cormacks comment: using a firewall to drive a perimeter through individuals’ thought processes is not going to work…
- Who wears a watch? Info available from your cell. Strap unneccessary tech device to your body, and I am sure you can rationalize it. Expectations rule your everyday life Define generation gap, in context of this presentation Context rules Mature is good for cheese, is it good for physics and math? Generation gap in expectations Generation gap in skills and attitude Mobile devices Social media
- to describe how todays students think and process information fundamentally differently Silly term, no foundation in research. Useful term to discuss anecdotal evidence JIT joke Digital immigrants are those who grew up without Intenret, turn to books for information, print out email to read We who are not Generation X or millennials
- Ask critical questions Analyze situations, splitting problems into components Synthesize knowledge Gather knowledge, sort information University goals: teach general knowledge develop general intellectual capacities specific subject knowledge ...at least that is what they tried to teach me
- The Norwegian Royal Ministry of Defense used to post signs banning photography. Today they have a flickr-page for sharing pictures.
- Knut enters university University takes away his tools, brand him outlaw University gives him outdated tools University lock his information away from his tools Is Knut working efficiently? We started using it whan we started working
- What is this? What does it look like? Different expectation when we see communcation devices Prayer flags are communication and replication devices Highly efficient communication: one prayer is placed on each flag, and every time the wind blows past, the prayer is sent to the gods
- What do students expect? Digital natives
- Open transparent processes - (not mention: eduGAIN closing openwiki) - it is silly to be closed in a deployment effort - it costs us time to keep others out of the information loop - we know that openness works - we need to share beyond the insiders, to bring in and build a community - it is old fashioned and outdated to close information and work flows, this is the age of Internet collaboration and social networking - when we are open, we get feedback and input
- The innovation happens outside campus We lost the initative outsourcing panel: beware, or we will not have a future Technology went everywhere App war vs OS war
- What is happening today? Do we have enough bandwidth? Security, access and availability Flexibility and cost I seldom ask myself «does the network support research and education?» Values we like: open solution, open source, available, advanced What is likely to happen tomorrow? Compare with immature areas
