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.
