Dear all, True to tradition from the past few years, we'd like to orgnise a special session for academics and NRENs parallel to RIPE 83. When: Monday, 15 November 2021, 14:00-15:30 CET / 13:00-14:30 UTC Where: Let me know if you want to attend and I will send you a zoom link If you are interested to attend, would you also want to talk about something? This can be: - Your recent research: it doesn't matter if it is published or not, finished or not. All that matters is that you want to tell us about it and maybe answer a few questions. The topics we are interested in: network measurement and analysis, IPv6, routing, network security, peering and interconnectivity, IoT, Internet governance. - Any project of your university or NREN - maybe you launched a new popular course or created a new platform for online learning? We'd like to have several talks of about 10 minutes. It's up to you whether you prefer to do them with or without slides. You can make it as informal or formal as you like. Yesterday and today I've called for interested academics to express interest in presenting. Once I have the agenda close to finalised, it will be available here: https://ripe83.ripe.net/programme/parallel-events/academic-nren/ Have a lovely day, Gergana Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC
