Dear all, For the past few years we've been organising a session for academia and NRENs parallel to each RIPE Meeting. It consists of an introduction round followed by short presentations and Q&A. Since the meeting is vitual this year, anyone with interest can attend, (so even if you are not attending the RIPE Meeting). If you are interested to join, please email me back. The session will take place on Friday, 14 May, 12:00-13:00 UTC / 14:00-15:00 CEST. If you are interested to attend, would you also want to talk about something? This can be: - Your recent research: it doesn't matter if it is published or not, finished or not. All that matters is that you want to tell us about it and maybe answer a few questions. The topics we are interested in: network measurement and analysis, IPv6, routing, network security, peering and interconnectivity, IoT, Internet governance. - Any project of your university or NREN - maybe you launched a new popular course or created a new platform for online learning? We'd like to have several talks of up to 10 minutes. If there is a lot of interest, we can make the session a little longer. It's up to you whether you prefer to do them with or without slides. You can make it as informal or formal as you like. Please let me know what you think! Have a lovely day, Gergana Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC
