Experiences from the Lecture Hall: RIPE NCC Engages with Universities in the Middle East
• 3 min read
The RIPE NCC academic engagement is by far one of the most gratifying and fulfilling initiatives our team in the Middle East office works on. So for we have visited six universities in three countries (Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Oman) and we plan to visit at least two more before the end of this yea…
“Thanks for this, Hisham! I especially liked that OKR table, linking the goals to the programme objectives.”
Thanks Michael for mentioning that. Indeed it required some work from my colleague Alena Muravska, our Programme Management Officer, and I to get the logical mapping done right to start the OKR process. I am sure you would also appreciate the addition of the environmental programme based on the feedback we heard from staff and community members including yourself.
“What are the numbers and geographic distribution of not-for-profit network operators? I can imagine that academic, research and civil society network operators would be engaging more if they are explicitly addressed together.”
I'm not entirely sure I got your question... However, the RIPE NCC has several activities for engagement with academics and researchers throughout our service region, such as RACI, free student tickets, sessions at universities fall under this. We also organise online and in-person academic sessions connected with each RIPE Meeting. Our in-house researchers also cooperate with universities all over our service region.
