Dear colleagues,

On Tuesday May 7, NCC will organise a free online event aimed at people currently studying in the fields of networking, computer science, internet governance and other fields relevant to the RIPE community. The goal is to introduce them to the RIPE Community, encourage them to participate at the RIPE Meeting (in-person or online) and provide them with tips on how to make the most out of it. The planned duration of the event is 1h and 30 min. 

Speakers:

• Valerie Aurora, systems programming consultant

• Ben Cartwright-Cox, CEO at bgp.tools

• Qasim Lone, Specialist Research Engineer at RIPE NCC

• Mirjam Kühne, RIPE Chair

• Jelena Ćosić, Community Builder at RIPE NCC

NCC has also set aside a limited number of free student tickets (for all 5 days of the conference). We especially encourage students from Polish universities to apply, but the offer is extended to all.

You can find more about the online event here: https://ripe88.ripe.net/programme/parallel-events/student-event

Registration for the online event is free and will be open until the day of the event.

If you are working with students that might be interested in attending, we'd appreciate it if you could help with spreading the word around. Thank you!
