Dr. Chafic Chaya, the RIPE NCC Regional Manager for Public Policy and Government Affairs, expressed
enthusiasm about empowering the Qatari Internet and academic communities, stated: “The RIPE NCC is

enthusiastic about empowering the Qatari Internet and academic communities, which comes alongside our
strategic partnership with the Communication Regulatory Authority in Qatar (CRA). Today, this collaboration
with UDST’s College of Computing and Information Technology contributes to our organisation’s standing as

a trusted player in education and development in the Internet sector.”

The discussions highlighted the importance of programs like the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative

(RACI) and the RIPE NCC Community Project Fund (CPF), which foster academic and research
engagement within the Internet community. These platforms encourage students and researchers to
showcase their research and gain insights from global Internet experts.

Looking ahead, RIPE NCC and UDST plan to include a RIPE NCC e-learning course on IPv6 in the CCIT
curriculum for the academic year 2024-2025, underscoring their commitment to equipping students with

necessary skills in emerging Internet technologies.
