Hi all,
I want to share two funding opportunities with you.
-----------------------
Community Projects Fund
-----------------------
Are you working on improving the operation and resilience of the
Internet? Apply *by 24 November* for the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund:
https://www.ripe.net/community-projects-fund
Community-driven, non-commercial work has been fundamental to the
success of the Internet from its earliest days, and continues to play an
important role in making the Internet resilient, secure and accessible
for everyone.
Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE
community? Is your project non-commercial in nature? Do you have a clear
project plan and timeline?
Under the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC will provide up
to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation
and resilience of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services
benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle East and
Central Asia.
Keep in mind that funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this
cannot be the sole expenditure. Funding cannot be used for humanitarian
aid, donations, or to encourage political reform, to provide
scholarships or cover tuition fees or to support any form of commercial
activity.
-------------------------------------------
RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI)
-------------------------------------------
I've posted about RACI in the past, so I will be brief this time. If you
are an academic and you would like to present your research at our
meetings, but don't have the funds for your travel, then apply for RACI:
