Dear colleagues,
The RIPE 67 Meeting will take place in the South East Europe region, in
Athens, from 14-18 October 2013. For this meeting, the RIPE Academic
Cooperation Initiative (RACI) will again offer academics the chance to
attend a RIPE Meeting for free and present their work to the RIPE
community. We would like to ask for your help in spreading the word
about RACI at the academic institutions in your country.
Full details on RACI and details on how academics can apply are
available at:
https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/raci/
The initiative is an excellent opportunity for students in the SEE
region to showcase their research to the RIPE community and enhance
their own professional networks. Students are also invited to discuss
their research with industry experts.
The goal of RACI is to promote increased RIPE Meeting participation from
academics in the RIPE NCC service region, and to strengthen the links
between the RIPE community and the academic community. With the RIPE
Meeting taking place in Greece, this is the ideal time for academics in
the SEE region to apply for RACI sponsorship. We hope that encouraging a
new generation of attendees with an interest in the technical
development of the Internet will strengthen the RIPE community in the
years ahead.
Through RACI, we offer up to six academics the chance to attend and, if
selected by the RIPE Programme Committee, present their work during a
plenary session or in lightning talks at another designated session
during the RIPE Meeting. RACI proposals may also be selected for
presentation in RIPE Working Group sessions.
RACI application is open to any academics based in the RIPE NCC service
region. If you work at an academic institution, or you know of any
suitable candidates, we would appreciate it if you would pass on the
details. A promotional flyer aimed at academics is available for this
purpose at:

You can also contact us with questions at <raci(a)ripe.net>.
I hope to see you in Athens for the RIPE Meeting!
Kind regards,
Serge Radovcic
Chief Communications Officer
