Dear all, I would like to remind you that the RACI call for applications for our two meetings in autumn is still open. RACI covers the flight, accommodation and meeting ticket for the selected applicants: ENOG 14 (9-10 October, Minsk): apply by 20 August RIPE 75 (22-26 October, Dubai): apply by 20 August http://ripe.net/raci/ Examples of Relevant Topics - Network measurements and analyses - IPv6 deployment - BGP routing - Network security - Internet governance - Peering and interconnectivity - Internet of Things And finally, a shout-out to our social media channels: - Twitter: @RACI_RIPE - LinkedIn group: https://www.ripe.net/raci/linkedin --------------- RIPE Fellowship --------------- The RIPE Fellowship is a new program which covers flight, travel and accommodation for five applicants to attend the RIPE Meeting. This way we hope to make it easier for community members from the more remote parts of our service region to participate in the meetings. Deadline for applications is 25 August: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship What is the difference with RACI? RACI is only for academics and only for those academics who would like to present their research. Due to this stricter requirement, fewer people apply, so the chance to be selected is higher. The RIPE Fellowship is for everyone. So my tip is: if you are an academic with an interesting research to present - apply for RACI; otherwise - for the RIPE Fellowship. To those of you who apply for RACI and are unsuccessful, I will submit all your applications for the RIPE Fellowship before the deadline expires. So in essense, you would be considered for both programs. Please let me know if you have any questions about either of these. Thank you in advance for your help in spreading the word to your networks! Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE Network Coordination Centre
