The discussions highlighted the importance of programs like the RIPE Academic

Cooperation Initiative (RACI) and the RIPE NCC Community Project Fund (CPF), which
foster academic and research engagement within the Internet community. These

commitment to equipping students with necessary skills in emerging Internet
technologies.
