TRAINING SERVICES

there will be courses in Germany, France and Tajikistan. There will also

usage. There are still places available at all these courses.

RIPE ATLAS
The RIPE Atlas measurement network now includes 207 anchors! These
anchors act as stable targets and enhance probes with more measurement
capacity, providing valuable information about regional connectivity for
the entire Internet community. Learn more about what anchor measurements
can do for you:

RIPE NCC SURVEY 2016
The RIPE NCC Survey 2016 closed at the end of June and 4,344 people
participated. We would like to thank all those who took part. This will
give us excellent insight into what our members and the community want
to see from us.

RACI
The RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) is currently accepting
applications for the ENOG 12 Meeting in Yerevan and the RIPE 73 Meeting
in Madrid. There are only five days left to apply for the Yerevan
meeting. Learn all about RACI and how to apply at:

email client. Try it out and let us know what you think!
