Dear colleagues, A friendly reminder that later today the RIPE NCC will be hosting a RIPE 89 dedicated warm up event for students to get to know different aspects of RIPE and the Internet community. *Date:* Monday, October 14 *Time:* 17:00-18:30 UTC+2 Join to learn: what does it take to build and maintain a national Internet infrastructure? What are the key elements of a well-functioning Internet ecosystem? Is there more to the world’s most famous “network of networks" than just routers, switches, and Ethernet cables? If you haven’t registered yet, it’s not too late—registration is still open, and the full agenda is available on the RIPE 89 website: https://ripe89.ripe.net/programme/parallel-events/student-event/ Feel free to share this invite with your colleagues that might be interested in attending. Hope to see you there! Kind regards, Jelena Ćosić
