TNC16: Student Contest, Call for Posters and Lightning Talks
by Gergana Petrova 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi all, A quick message about TNC16, which takes place 12-16 June 2016 in Prague: https://tnc16.geant.org/ Student contest - Deadline 15 April GÉANT invites students from all disciplines to participate in an exciting challenge, revolving around the theme of this year's networking conference, TNC16, "Building the internet of people". The TNC16 student competition is centered around the question "How would you improve the internet of people?". In order to pitch their ideas, participants should submit a 3 minute video with a supporting description. A group of finalists will receive fee waivers to attend the conference and to showcase their ideas during a plenary session in front of a panel of experts. The contest winner will be awarded with the “Best new idea prize 2016” during an official ceremony at TNC16. https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/student Call for Posters - Deadline 15 April In past years many TNC participants have created high-quality poster presentations. An effective poster presentation should summarise your work with graphs and images to tell the story and should use text sparingly. Presenting a poster at TNC16 will serve as an excellent advertisement for your work, and can act as a great conversation starter with other TNC participants. https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/guidelines Give a Lightning Talk - Deadline 15 April Lightning talks are 5-minute presentations focusing on one key point: this can be an idea, a successful project, a cautionary tale, a collaboration invitation, a quick tip or a demonstration. Use this time wisely to present the pertinent message of the subject matter without the need for background history, the problem space or a business-case justification. Lightning talks are an excellent opportunity for first-time speakers. We will have in total 32 lightning talks at TNC16. https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/guidelines Please note, RIPE NCC is not organising this and I cannot give you more information. I just thought it's nice to share on the list. For questions, please ask the organisers at: tnc16(a)lists.geant.org Cheers, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE Network Coordination Centre Singel 258, 1016 AB Amsterdam, The Netherlands T: +31 20 535 4444 www.ripe.net

Submissions for RIPE 72
by Marc Werner 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the submission for RIPE 72: a) Is the 500 words limit for the slides that need to be submitted beforehand or for the abstract to be provided in the application form? b) How long is the presentation meant to be? Are the 30 minutes for “stand-alone presentations” are also applied to the RACI submissions or are there other slots assigned? c) Are the presentation slides due with the application or can they be handed in later? It would be great to hear from you and I am looking forward to hopefully meet you in Copenhagen. Best regards, Marc

The theme of TNC16 is 'Building the Internet of People'. The conference will be held from 12-16 June 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic, organised by GÉANT and hosted by the Czech National Research and Education Network (CESNET). Proposals (presentation abstracts and session) can now be submitted directly to the TNC16 website: https://tnc16.geant.org/web/participate/guidelines * **Deadline for submission (presentation abstracts and session proposals) is 30 November 2015.* NOTE: In order to submit your abstract you will first have to login to the website. The website uses federated login, which means that we do not provide usernames/passwords any more; instead you can log in using your own institutional account.

The topics described below are an indication of the scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. *Building the Internet of People* >From the start of the Internet, well over 30 years ago, NRENs have been in the business of building network infrastructure, not only to connect campuses to each other and to the rest of the internet, but also to connect people belonging to many different communities worldwide. Not only do NRENs provide the basic network infrastructure on which research and education, big science and big data are built, they also address the requirements of ever-increasing and diverse communities of end users in areas as diverse as trust, security, identity, and a wide range of tools for collaboration. With the TNC16 Call for Proposals we invite you to explore the challenges that the research and education networking community faces while continuing to build the internet of people. Submissions are sought for a single presentation or a full session that attempt to answer, but are not limited to answering questions such as: * What is needed to further satisfy the changing research and education user needs? * How can NRENs best cope with the changing landscape of funding and security requirements? * What roles in the area of cloud services are, and are not, suitable for an NREN? * How can developed and developing NRENs more closely collaborate with each other, on a regional, European and global scale? * Which advances in technology are hot, and relevant for the NRENs, in 2016 and beyond? *Other ways to participate* * *Meeting proposa*l - If you wish to organise a meeting or workshop immediately before, after or around TNC16, please contact <tnc16(a)lists.geant.org> before 15 January 2016. * * Lightning talks* (Round 1) – midnight CET, 12 February 2016 - Please indicate on your single presentation submission if it could be considered as a lightning talk proposal as well. * * Lightning talks* (Round 2), *posters*, *full papers* – midnight CEST, 15 April 2016 - Announcement for the call will be sent out in February 2016. * *Sponsorship* - For information please contact <gyongyi.horvath(a)geant.org> * *Demonstrations and exhibits* - companies or projects wishing to participate should contact: <tnc16(a)lists.geant.org> *About TNC* TNC is the largest and most prestigious annual networking conference for higher education and research in Europe, with around 650 participants.
