The RIPE NCC Hosted Internet Measurement Day Uzbekistan

On 29 May 2024, the RIPE NCC, in collaboration with ICANN and with the support of Inha University in Tashkent, organised the Internet Measurement Day in Uzbekistan. This event welcomed over 50 participants from government agencies, telecom operators, academia, and international organisations.

The event was opened by the high-level representatives of the Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan, the RIPE NCC, ICANN, and Inha University in Tashkent.

Internet Measurement Day, held for four years in Eastern and Central Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, focuses on promoting Internet research to ensure stable network development and operation, improving quality and security, particularly domain names, IP addresses, routing, and connectivity issues.

Key topics included RIPE Atlas, ITHI Metrics, the Routing Information Service (RIS), Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), and insights into Internet resilience in Central Asia by the Internet Society.

During the event, the RIPE NCC also held an informal meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan, Inha University in Tashkent, and UZINFOCOM.

These events follow the 2023 Memorandum of Understanding between the RIPE NCC, Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Digital Technologies, and Uzbektelecom. This year, the RIPE NCC plans to organise several initiatives in Central Asia, including the third edition of the Central Asia Peering and Interconnection Forum on 24-25 September 2024 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Registrations for this event are open.
