RIPE 89

RIPE 89 Student Event: The Czech Internet Community in Focus

Date: Monday, 14 October 17:00 – 18:30 (UTC+2/CEST)

What does it take to build and maintain a national Internet infrastructure? What are the key elements of a well-functioning Internet ecosystem? Is there more to the world’s most famous “network of networks” than just routers, switches, and Ethernet cables?

It turns out that a thriving Internet relies heavily on an extensive network of people dedicated to keeping it running smoothly. As we gear up for RIPE 89 in Prague, we’re shining a spotlight on the Czech Internet community and the remarkable work they have done to create a stable, robust, and resilient Internet.

Join the RIPE 89 Student Event to hear directly from the brilliant people behind these projects.

Although primarily targeted at undergraduate students, this event is open to everyone. We will also set aside a limited number of free student tickets for the RIPE 89 meeting in Prague (28 October – 1 November 2024). Tickets will be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis.

Speakers:

  • Mirjam Kühne, RIPE Chair
  • “Teaching BIRDs how to fly” Maria Matějka, CZ.NIC
  • Ondřej Caletka, RIPE NCC
