Dear colleagues,
In less than a month, RIPE NCC will be hosting another RIPE meeting and
this time around we're heading to the beautiful city of Prague, Czech
Republic! The dates are October 28 - November 1; registration for the
meeting is still open and a draft agenda is published with the final
version coming soon.
For more details, check the official page: https://ripe89.ripe.net
Pre-RIPE 89 Online student event
On Monday October 14 (17:00 - 18:30 UTC+2), NCC will organise a free online
event aimed at people currently studying in the fields of networking,
computer science, internet governance and other fields relevant to the RIPE
community. The goal is to introduce them to the RIPE Community, encourage
them to participate at the RIPE Meeting (in-person or online) and provide
them with tips on how to make the most out of it.
In this edition, we are putting a spotlight on the Czech Internet community
and their remarkable contributions to building a stable, robust, and
resilient Internet. We prepared a great agenda featuring excellent speakers
who will share their firsthand experiences in founding, managing, and
supporting critical infrastructure projects and initiatives in Czechia. As
we are targeting undergrad and master students, the speakers will keep the
content relatively high-level and focused on the importance of strong
communities.
Agenda and further information are available here:
https://ripe89.ripe.net/programme/parallel-events/student-event
NCC has also set aside a limited number of free student tickets (for all 5
days of the conference). We especially encourage students from Czech
universities to apply, but the offer is extended to all.
Registration for the online event
<https://meeting-registration.ripe.net/meeting-pub/registration?10&meetingId…>
is free and will be open until the day of the event.
If you are working with students that might be interested in attending,
we'd appreciate it if you could help with spreading the word around. Thank
you!
Kind regards,
Jelena Ćosić
Dear colleagues,
Is your organisation interested in hosting the SEE 14 meeting on 21-22
April 2026?
As the event takes place outside the Netherlands, the RIPE NCC is
dependent on a local host to support the organisation and delivery. In
return, the host organisation can expect excellent visibility.
Find more information about hosting requirements for SEE 14 at:
https://www.ripe.net/meetings/regional-meetings/see/see-14/
Interested? Please email seeurope(a)ripe.net *by 4 November 2024*
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to write. We look
forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Gergana
