Have you heard about the RIPE Fellowship yet? Earlier this year, we launched the RIPE Fellowship as part of our ongoing efforts to make RIPE Meetings more inclusive. The purpose of the fellowship is to support successful candidates in their professional or academic career development, allow them to participate in policy discussions, and to network with industry peers and others at the event. We are excited to have five talented individuals from across the RIPE NCC service region join us at RIPE 74 (8-12 May in Budapest) as RIPE Fellows. 

Congratulations:

 - Jie Li, University College London, UK 
 - Jad El Cham, Data Consult, Lebanon 
 - Ella Titova, K-Telecom CJSC, Armenia 
 - Vladimir Svanadze, Internet Development Initiative - IDI, Georgia 
- Magnus Frühling, Freifunk Frankfurt am Main e. V, Germany 

RIPE Fellows receive: 

 - Round-trip airfare to the meeting 
- A full-week meeting ticket 
- Hotel accommodation for the meeting week 
- The opportunity to partner with a RIPE community mentor 

 We will accept applications for the RIPE Fellowship at RIPE 75 (22-26 October 2017, Dubai) in August. Please keep an eye on your inbox for the announcement.
