RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) - Applications Open

Dear colleagues,

This is a reminder that we are still accepting applications from
academics to attend the RIPE 69 Meeting in London from 3-7 November as
part of the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI):
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/raci

The package for successful applicants includes the cost of RIPE Meeting
tickets, accommodation, travel to and from London, lunch every day of
the meeting and tickets to social events.

Students and researchers from within the RIPE NCC service region are
encouraged to apply.

The closing date for applications is Friday, 12 September 2014.

Information on RACI at RIPE 69, including a link to the application
form, is available at:
https://ripe69.ripe.net/programme/raci/

Why RACI?
--------------
RACI gives students and researchers a unique opportunity to present
their work to leading technical figures in the Internet world, receive
feedback on their research from experts, and have their work published
on the RIPE Labs website for community feedback.

RACI also benefits the RIPE community by introducing new members who can
contribute to RIPE discussions with fresh ideas and perspectives.

Students and researchers may wish to present topics relevant to the RIPE
community, including (but not limited to):
- Network measurement and analysis
- IPv6 deployment
- BGP routing
- Network security
- Internet governance

Please spread the word among your networks and encourage suitable
applicants to submit their interest.

RIPE Academic Cooperation Mailing List
--------------------------------------
An academic cooperation mailing list is now available for those with an
interest in the academic side of networking, as well as RACI itself. The
goal of the list is to maintain and strengthen ties between the RIPE and
academic communities by providing a platform for members of each
community to connect and discuss matters of common interest.

The mailing list is public and you are invited to join today:

Kind regards,

The RACI Coordination Team (Chris Buckridge, Fergal Cunningham, Fatemah
