Possible agenda topic - EU funded research
by Gordon Lennox 19 Jan '12

The Commission like other similar organisations has its “cycles”. Some are fairly clean-cut such as the Commission itself – the College, the 27 Commissioners. Others are overlap to an extent. This coming year is perhaps more interesting than most when it comes to our research funding. We are coming towards the end of Framework Programme 7 - FP7 - and a proposal has been developed for what should happen next - Horizon 2020. For details on FP7: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/home And for some information on Horizon 2020: http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=h2020 A lot of the topics which have been and are being funded and which indeed may be funded are of relevance to this community – work on the “future internet” and on IPv6 to mention but two. It ought to be useful therefore to see if people from the research side of INFSO could come to a RIPE meeting to present what has been achieved and the Commission’s proposal for the future. If there is interest then I am sure the co-chairs can take this forward. In the meantime - happy new year! Gordon

Dear colleagues, At the last meeting of the Cooperation WG, there was an update from Nurani Nimpuno on the UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) Working Group on Improvements to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). This group is currently meeting, and a number of RIPE community members are tweeting live updates from the meeting. For those that are interested, search for #CSTDWG on Twitter.

Hi Gordon, We are a participant in the FP7 GEN6 (Governements enabled with IPv6) program. If there are any questions of the RIPE community you'd like to ask there I can help to direct them to the appropriate people.
