The RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund Selection Committee has reviewed the applications and is happy to announce that the following six projects have been selected as the 2023 recipients of the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Jaya Baloo, Flavio Luciani, and Samaneh Tajalizadehkhoob, the Selection Committee members who are stepping down, for their invaluable contributions and dedicated service to the committee. Their expertise and commitment have significantly enriched the process, and their impact will be felt in the projects selected.

With their departure, we are opening a call for volunteers to join the Selection Committee. This is an excellent opportunity for community members to contribute to the evaluation and selection of projects that aim to enhance the Internet infrastructure and services within the RIPE NCC service region. 

The call for volunteers will be open from Friday, 3 November to Thursday, 30 November. We encourage interested individuals to come forward and continue the exemplary work of the departing committee members in supporting meaningful community projects.
