About

Daniel Karrenberg is chief scientist at the RIPE NCC, the regional Internet registry for Europe and surrounding areas.  He directs research, creation and piloting of new services as well as general strategy development.

Karrenberg has been helping to build the Internet in Europe from its very beginnings.  In the 1980s he has helped to build EUnet into the first pan-European ISP.  In the 1990s he has helped to build RIPE and the first regional Internet registry: the RIPE NCC.  Karrenberg has served as the first CEO of the RIPE NCC until 2000 when he became its first chief scientist.  In 2001 his contributions to the development of the Internet have been recognised with the Jonathan B.

A computer scientist by training, Karrenberg likes to invent, design and implement Internet related systems, especially those collecting and processing data about the Internet itself.  He also likes to occasionally inject physics, engineering and “networking style” into debates about Internet governance.
