Hosting an Academic Day at your Institution
by Gergana Petrova 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Dear all, I have a question for you. The RIPE NCC used to host in-person academic days on various topcs such as Internet 101, Routing, the RIPE Database, IPv6, RPKI, Internet Governance. With the current COVID restrictions we would like to move these online. Are any of your universities interested in such an online event? If so, can you support us by organising and spreading the word about the session and inviting students and we will deliver the content. Please let me know if you are interested. We can organise these relatively quickly. And if it does not work for you before summer, we can do it also in fall, regardless of the COVID situation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Research Funding
by Gergana Petrova 19 May '21

19 May '21

Dear colleagues, RACI used to provide funding for academics to present their research at events such as the RIPE Meeting and the RIPE NCC regional meetings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the funds for this initiative for this year will instead be used to support research projects relevant to work carried out by the RIPE NCC. We invite academic and research institutes in the RIPE NCC service region to submit proposals to work on projects in these areas: - Apply machine learning and big data analytics to the collected routing data to identify and predict trends. - Apply and customise big data visualisation frameworks to the collected routing data to better display the data to users. More details are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci/raci-project-funding If you are interested, please send us a project proposal by 31 May. Feel free to spread this call to whomever you think might find it interesting. For any questions, please write to raci(a)ripe.net. Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC

Hi Slavica, Yes, it is our hope that the academics use our data. We will accept proposals with other ideas, so don't be discouraged to submit something, however using our data would be a bonus. By the way, we updated the button here (http://ripe.net/raci-funding) - now it leads to a template/form to fill out, since too many people asked for something like that, instead of just an email.

The idea is to get the 2-page proposal from you and our Research and Development team will decide which are the most interesting and relevant. We are a network coorination centre, so anything that can help the work of network operators would be a bonus. > > Please let me know if you have any more questions.
