Automate NOW! Madrid

Join the 6th SIG AI Meeting in Madrid (10–11 March 2026), a hybrid, noon-to-noon gathering hosted by RedIRIS that brings together the AI community within the GÉANT ecosystem to shape practical AI deployment in research and education networks. This Spring 2026 meeting is designed to move AI from a peripheral topic to a core strategic priority for NRENs, with a focus on real-world applications, governance, and shared learnings. Attendees will explore how autonomous agents could transform workflows beyond simple chatbots, while also diving into AI-driven network management, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency. Key themes include: - Agentic AI: examining the shift from scripted bots to autonomous agents and their potential impact on research and education infrastructures. - Intelligent Networks: leveraging AI for network monitoring, optimization, and proactive maintenance. - AI Policy & Governance: navigating the evolving regulatory landscape, ethics, and policy considerations for AI in the research and education sector. - Community Showcases: insights from RedIRIS and other NREN hosts on home-grown AI initiatives and pilots. Whether your organization is already delivering AI services or is in the early stages of strategic planning, this meeting offers a collaborative space to share best practices and help define the future service portfolio of the GÉANT community. The event is hybrid, with in-person attendance in Madrid facilitating networking opportunities, alongside virtual participation for our global members. The meeting runs from noon to noon, and there will be a joint dinner on the evening of 10 March. For more details, see the wiki page linked from the event site. This is a valuable opportunity for AI researchers, IT directors, network engineers, policy makers, and vendors collaborating in the European NREN space to learn, connect, and co-create how AI and automation can be responsibly deployed at scale across national research networks. Registration and further updates are available on the event page.
