[RACI-list] TNC16: Student Contest, Call for Posters and Lightning Talks

Hi all,

A quick message about TNC16, which takes place 12-16 June 2016 in Prague:
https://tnc16.geant.org/

​Student contest - Deadline 15 April
GÉANT invites students from all disciplines to participate in an 
exciting challenge, revolving around the theme of this year's networking 
conference, TNC16, "Building the internet of people". The TNC16 student 
competition is centered around the question "How would you improve the 
internet of people?". In order to pitch their ideas, participants should 
submit a 3 minute video with a supporting description. A group of 
finalists will receive fee waivers to attend the conference and to 
showcase their ideas during a plenary session in front of a panel of 
experts. The contest winner will be awarded with the “Best new idea 
prize 2016” during an official ceremony at TNC16.

Call for Posters - Deadline 15 April
In past years many TNC participants have created high-quality poster 
presentations. An effective poster presentation should summarise your 
work with graphs and images to tell the story and should use text 
sparingly. Presenting a poster at TNC16 will serve as an excellent 
advertisement for your work, and can act as a great conversation starter 
with other TNC participants.

Give a Lightning Talk - Deadline 15 April
Lightning talks are 5-minute presentations focusing on one key point: 
this can be an idea, a successful project, a cautionary tale, a 
collaboration invitation, a quick tip or a demonstration. Use this time 
wisely to present the pertinent message of the subject matter without 
the need for background history, the problem space or a business-case 
justification. Lightning talks are an excellent opportunity for 
first-time speakers. We will have in total 32 lightning talks at TNC16.

Please note, RIPE NCC is not organising this and I cannot give you more 
information. I just thought it's nice to share on the list. For 
questions, please ask the organisers at: tnc16 at lists.geant.org

Cheers,
Gergana
