Internet2’s 2019 Global Summit is a community forum for our members and partners from around the world to participate in unprecedented collaboration to discuss today’s needs, challenges and solutions across all Research and Education.


Over the past two years, the Internet2 community has focused on important advances in networking infrastructure, trust and identity, and integrated cloud services – all 

supporting a general environment of seamless global collaboration for scholarship. Hardware and software tools continue to blossom with increasing frequency and 

impact, along with rapidly expanding digitally-driven opportunities for research, scholarship and creative endeavors. However, each tool tends to be “local” – observation, 

measurement and sensing nodes, computational engines, visualization tools, data storage nodes – and many involve deep technical knowledge to use. So networked 

data flows and integrated storage, processing and workflow tools that hide the technical complexity and allow scholars to focus on their art or science remain key to the 

overall utility of the burgeoning big-data environment. The 2019 Global Summit will highlight progress and innovation in these key domains.

Please note the significant schedule shift! Program sessions begin on Wednesday, March 6 and end on Friday, March 8

Call for Proposals and Tracks


Three track areas are being proposed for the 2019 Global Summit including Advanced Networking, Trust and Identity, and Integrated Solutions for Research, 

Scholarship and Creativity.  Submissions are due August 14. The program committee will make final determinations of accepted proposals that fit within the 

guidelines and definitions below. 


In addition to the Call for Proposals which highlights tracks that will help organize your submissions and guide conference attendees, the Global Summit program 

committee seeks innovative updates, lightning talks, case studies and future visioning incorporating all components of the planned next generation network infrastructure 

upgrade, modernized trust and identity tools, and integrated technological environments for supporting research and scholarship. Learn more here.
 

Advanced Networking


Successful submissions will focus on network innovation, ecosystem-wide collaborations, trusted infrastructure and foundations for the future like automation and 

infrastructure sharing. Submissions should highlight business & workflow innovation, research support programs, security, and technology implementations in advanced 

networking.  This includes building ecosystem collaborations for delivering research and academic services collaborations across local, national and global advanced 

networks. 
 

Trust and Identity


The trust and identity track will focus on identity and access management (IAM), including identity federation, security, and a range of other identity-related topics. 

We encourage submissions that incorporate case studies, as well as individual or panel discussions on problems and solutions in such areas as:

·        Policy and policy development

·        Software advances and adoption (such as the Internet2/InCommon containerized versions of open-source products)

·        Successful IAM implementation strategies

·        Successful adoption and deployment strategies involving use of the InCommon Federation and federated identity management

·        The use of federation and identity management strategies to support researchers and participation in virtual organizations

·        Security topics such as incident handling, malware challenges, securing cloud-based services, and the unique challenges of network security at very high speeds.

As you consider your proposal, please keep in mind that the Global Summit tends to attract CIOs, CTOs, Directors and other managers (as opposed to practitioners).
 

Integrated Solutions for Research, Scholarship and Creativity – Global and National


Successful submissions will highlight research and scholarship examples illustrating innovative uses of technology to support national and global-scale collaborations, 

solving challenges and barriers to success common to distributed, collaborative, or big-data work. Successful submissions will highlight the work of scientific researchers 

across campuses, virtual organizations, and national and commercial facilities, data resources and cloud services, and bring to the forefront initiatives that use technology 

to solve common challenges in areas such as big data and analytics.
