Dear Students,
Next week (23/07) 2pm CEST for the Data Network lecture you will have the unique opportunity to hear how the Internet is made from three guest speakers Sander Steffann (RIPE NCC), Jan Zorz (6connect), and Gabriella Schittek (ICANN). They will first present how Internet governance works in practice, and will then be available for questions. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the (social) infrastructure that makes the Internet tick!
The Lecture will be online (Zoom link https://eu02web.zoom.us/j/69446583039 password 186398) and we highly recommend attending this lecture considering the importance of the topic.
