If you are or know somebody doing research that is somewhat Internet related (doesn’t have to be IPv6 :). RIPE NCC has again put a call out for applicants to the RACI programme. And I am sure that I can speak for my fellow chair that we are happy to consider any IPv6 related material for inclusion in our work group. MarcoH (in his role as co-chair of this working group)
Dear colleagues,
The RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) is providing a number of students and researchers the opportunity to participate at RIPE 68 in Warsaw from 12-16 May. We are offering packages that include meeting registration and paid travel and accommodation, and we are currently seeking applications from across the RIPE NCC service region.
We would like to ask for your assistance to raise awareness of the RACI program. Many in the RIPE community have strong connections with academic institutions, and we are keen to make those institutions and their students aware of this great opportunity.
RACI gives students and researchers the opportunity to present their work in front of some the leading technical figures in the Internet world, receive feedback on their research from experts and have their work published on the RIPE Labs website for community feedback. The RACI program also benefits the RIPE community by introducing newer members to the community who can give interesting presentations at RIPE Meetings that might not otherwise be seen.
The initiative is coordinated with the RIPE Programme Committee to allow the RACI participants to present their research, either during plenary/working group sessions, or in lightning talks at other designated sessions.
Students and researchers may wish to present on any topic relevant to the RIPE community, including (but not limited to):
- Network measurement and analysis - IPv6 deployment - BGP routing - Network security - Internet governance
Students and researchers who are interested in RACI sponsorship can fill out the application form on the RIPE 68 webpages: https://ripe68.ripe.net/programme/raci/application/
All applications must be received by Friday, 25 April 2014. Applicants will be informed about the status of their application by Friday, 2 May 2014. Any applications received after 25 April 2014 will be considered for RACI at RIPE 69, to be held in London from 3-7 November 2014.
More information on RACI is available at: https://ripe68.ripe.net/programme/raci/

The RACI Coordination Team RIPE NCC
