19 Jul '22

Dear colleagues, For the fifth year in a row, the RIPE NCC is committing to support activities and projects for 'the good of the Internet'. We are pleased to invite applications for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund. Through the Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC distributes up to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation, resilience and sustainability of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. If you or your organisation are working on a new or existing project that fits the criteria below and need some financial support to get it off the ground or keep it going, we want to hear from you! Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE community? Is your project non-commercial in nature? Do you have a clear project plan and timeline? Some things to keep in mind: - Funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this cannot be the sole expenditure - Funding cannot be used for humanitarian aid, donations, or to encourage political reform - Funding cannot be used to provide scholarships or cover tuition fees - Funding cannot be used to support any form of commercial activity The call for applicants will remain open until 23:59 (UTC), Saturday, 31 July 2021. You can find more details on the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund page: https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC

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. Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC
