Dear colleagues, On 2 January, we closed the RIPE NCC Academy, our e-learning platform, for some much-needed upgrades. Our original intention was to have the Academy back online and live by 27 January. However, we have run into some unforeseen issues with implementing this upgrade, and we will be unable to put the Academy back online by Monday. We are working to bring the Academy online as soon as possible. We currently anticipate that the Academy will be back up and running around mid-February. You can read about the upgrades being made to the Academy in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ulka_athale_1/revamping-the-ripe-ncc-academy <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ulka_athale_1/revamping-the-ripe-ncc-academy> Our apologies for any inconvenience caused, and we hope to welcome you back to learn online with us soon. Best regards, Sandra Bras E-Learning Programme Manager
