The war prevented URAN representatives from traveling to the Italian city of Trieste for the long-awaited TNC conference which annually brings together about 800 specialists in research and education networks from more than 70 countries, but it did not prevent us from telling the international community about how we live and work under the new critical conditions. We filmed and GÉANT colleagues edited the video that the conference participants saw on June 14 at the opening plenary of TNC22. Silence reigned in the hall during the show.
