With 2024 behind us, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our recent webinar series, Discovering the Power of NET+ Services.

By bringing together universities, industry partners, and service providers, these webinars highlighted the tangible benefits of collaboration while advancing scalable, sustainable solutions for the entire R&E ecosystem.
