08:30 – 09:00 Registration and Badge Collection (Echo Foyer)
09:00 – 10:30 Keynote 1 – Georgios Smaragdakis (TU Delft)
Through his keynote, Georgios will share with PhD students his lessons learned from Internet measurement and traffic analysis research, offering a roadmap of approaches that have stood the test of time and a forward-looking perspective on where the field is heading.
10:30 – 11:00 Coffee Break
11:15 – 12:45 Keynote 2 – Vasileios Giotsas (Cloudflare)
Through his keynote, Vasilis will share his perspective on how measurement research translates into real-world production systems at scale, drawing on his experience at the intersection of academic Internet topology mapping, BGP security, and operational challenges at Cloudflare.
12:30 – 13:30 Lunch Break
13:30 – 15:00 Tutorial A – Oliver Gasser (IPInfo), Part 1
Oliver’s tutorial will introduce students to the foundations of IP geolocation validation using latency measurements – covering speed-of-light constraints, multilateration, and ProbeNet – and guide them through hands-on sessions detecting mislocated RIPE Atlas probes and VPN exit nodes using real-world measurement datasets.
15:00 – 15:30 Coffee Break
15:30 – 17:00 Tutorial A – Oliver Gasser (IPInfo), Part 2
17:00 – 17:30 End of Day 1

Ph.D. School Day 2.
09:00 – 10:30 Tutorial B – Mariano Scazzariello (RISE), Part 1
Mariano’s tutorial will introduce students to Kathará as a network digital twin, demonstrating how to design, deploy, and experiment with complex Internet topologies – including routing protocols and network functions – in a lightweight, modular, and reproducible environment.
10:30 – 11:00 Coffee Break
11:00 – 12:30 Tutorial B – Mariano Scazzariello (RISE), Part 2
12:30 – 13:30 Lunch Break
13:30 – 15:00 Tutorial C – Gerardo Viviers + Ondřej Caletka (RIPE NCC), Part 1
Gerardo’s and Ondřej’s tutorial will introduce students to the world-class measurement infrastructure operated by the RIPE NCC, used daily by network researchers, operators, and policymakers worldwide. The session is structured as a hybrid tutorial and hackathon, designed to build genuine research skills rather than simply demonstrate tools. Students will learn about RIPE Atlas, RIPEstat, and RIPE RIS, and they will compete to produce a result about one research challenge track.
15:00 – 15:30 Coffee Break
15:30 – 17:00 Tutorial C – Gerardo Viviers + Ondřej Caletka (RIPE NCC), Part 2
17:00 – 17:30 Closing Remarks and Poster Awards
19:30 – 21:30 Social Event (dinner at Heinde)
