OW2 Con CFP closes this weekend!!! - HOT TOPIC: Europe’s path to technological sovereignty

[Michelle Hall]

Hello Apereo Community,

Important reminder that the Call for Proposals for OW2con 2026 closes this weekend -  February 14.

Once again, Apereo will be participating in OW2con in Paris-Châtillon, France (June 2–3). However, this year's focus is especially timely and bursting with potential: What it will take for Europe to achieve technological sovereignty and is open source software the solution?

Higher education communities have a critical role to play in this conversation, through shared infrastructure, open governance, and long-term sustainability. If you have experience, insights, or case studies to share, we strongly encourage you to submit a proposal to the open source in education, science & research track!!! If you've been wondering if you should submit something, YES you should and please do so before the 14th!
