[diversity] Diversity at RIPE Meetings: Academics, Newcomers, Women

Dear all,

I want to share with you an article I wrote on RIPE Labs:

https://labs.ripe.net/author/gergana_petrova/diversity-at-ripe-meetings-academics-newcomers-women/

In it I explore data I shared during the Diversity in Tech session at 
RIPE 87 on diversity at RIPE Meetings, focusing on academics, newcomers, 
and women. The main findings show an unforeseen drop in academic 
participation after the pandemic. Additionally, gender diversity within 
the RIPE community lags behind the industry norm and is projected to get 
worse.

I'd be very curious to hear your suggestions of what we (both RIPE 
community and RIPE NCC) could do to improve participation of these 
groups. You can comment on the article, on this mailing list, or write 
to me privately.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Gergana
