The University of Doha for Science and Technology’s (UDST) College of Computing and Information

Technology (CCIT) and the RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) have entered into a partnership
aimed at improving education in Internet governance and infrastructure. This collaboration, which was
initiated during a coordination meeting at UDST, involves the sharing of expertise and resources between

RIPE NCC experts and UDST’s faculty to benefit the students of the College of Computing and Information
Technology (CCIT).

The partnership provides CCIT students access to RIPE NCC’s extensive resources, including e-learning
courses in the RIPE NCC Academy, webinars, in-person workshops, and certification programs focused on
advanced Internet technologies. This initiative is part of CCIT’s strategy to update its curriculum to address

the demands of the digital age, with a focus on Internet infrastructure and governance.

Dr. Zakaria Maamar, Dean of the College of Computing and Information Technology at UDST, underscored

the commitment to continuing efforts to provide students with the latest skills, competencies, and knowledge
in Internet networking technology. “The collaboration will introduce the RIPE NCC Academic Portfolio into the

College’s curriculum across all its academic programs including information technology, information systems,
cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and software engineering, aiming to enrich students’ theoretical and
practical understanding of new Internet technologies and governance,” said Dr Maamar.
