[RACI-list] Making contact with Internet researchers/academics

Dear all,

We just posted the message announcing the approaching deadline (this
Friday, 12 September) for applications for RACI grants to RIPE 69.

In promoting RACI to researchers and academics, one of the difficulties
we have is to be able to make sure the right candidates receive the
information regarding RACI. All of our regular mailing lists and other
communication channels are directed towards the established Internet
community. We also post announcements about RACI on Twitter and Facebook.

If you have ideas or suggestions on how we might be better able to reach
Internet researchers and academics across our service region (Europe,
the Middle East, Russia and the CIS), I ask that you post your
suggestions to this list or email me directly. If there are specific
channels you are aware of that we might use to spread the word about
RACI, we would also be very interested to hear about these.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear colleagues,

This coming Friday, 12 September 2014, is the closing date for

London, 3-8 November 2014, as part of the RIPE Academic Cooperation
Initiative (RACI):
https://ripe69.ripe.net/programme/raci/

The package for successful applicants includes the cost of RIPE Meeting
tickets, accommodation, travel to and from London, lunch on each day of
the meeting and access to social events. Students and researchers from
within the RIPE NCC service region are encouraged to apply for this
unique opportunity to present their work to leading technical figures in
the Internet world.

Please share this information with any colleagues or contacts who might
wish to apply.

We also invite you to join the new RIPE academic cooperation mailing
list, which aims to strengthen ties between the RIPE and academic
communities by providing a platform to discuss matters of common interest:
