The ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop has co-located with the July IETF meetings for the past eight years. It's a peer-reviewed academic workshop, organised by IRTF and ACM SIGCOMM, with proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library (https://irtf.org/anrw/). One of our key goals in creating this workshop was exactly to provide a venue that allows academics to attend IETF. IRTF also sponsors the Applied Networking Research Prize and provides travel grants to support PhD students and early career faculty (https://irtf.org/travelgrants) to attend IRTF and IETF meetings.
