RACI @ RIPE 68 - Opportunity for Students and Researchers

Dear colleagues,

The RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) is providing a number of
students and researchers the opportunity to participate at RIPE 68 in
Warsaw from 12-16 May. We are offering packages that include meeting
registration and paid travel and accommodation, and we are currently
seeking applications from across the RIPE NCC service region.

We would like to ask for your assistance to raise awareness of the RACI
program. Many in the RIPE community have strong connections with
academic institutions, and we are keen to make those institutions and
their students aware of this great opportunity.

RACI gives students and researchers the opportunity to present their
work in front of some the 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. The RACI
program also benefits the RIPE community by introducing newer members to
the community who can give interesting presentations at RIPE Meetings
that might not otherwise be seen.

The initiative is coordinated with the RIPE Programme Committee to allow
the RACI participants to present their research, either during
plenary/working group sessions, or in lightning talks at other
designated sessions.

Students and researchers may wish to present on any topic relevant to
the RIPE community, including (but not limited to):

- Network measurement and analysis
- IPv6 deployment
- BGP routing
- Network security
- Internet governance

Students and researchers who are interested in RACI sponsorship can fill
out the application form on the RIPE 68 webpages:
https://ripe68.ripe.net/programme/raci/application/

All applications must be received by Friday, 25 April 2014. Applicants
will be informed about the status of their application by Friday, 2 May
2014. Any applications received after 25 April 2014 will be considered
for RACI at RIPE 69, to be held in London from 3-7 November 2014.
