Fellowship Program Scope and Goals
This program is designed to support IXPs, who cannot afford all the expenses to attend a Euro-IX forum or to pay for membership. All Euro-IX forums will run a Fellowship Program, as long as there is sufficient funding available.
Resources
Resources needed to fulfill the goals will come from sponosrships to the Fellowship and will be managed by Euro-IX.
Request for participation in the program
Any IXP interested in applying for the fellowship should complete the Fellowship Program Funding Request Form and send it to the Euro-IX Secretariat at least 4 weeks before the forum.
Participating in the Fellowship Program

The Fellowship gives two nights accomodation and attendance tickets for one Euro-IX forum in the year.

In addition, as a fellow you will receive one years remote membership, which gives you access to the mailing lists, working groups and the forum.

Any IXP who was the beneficiary of a fellowship program is expected to maintain its membership for at least one full calendar year following its fellowship grant.
