Reinforcing the NRENs

In order to enhance the human capacity of partner NRENs, the Asi@Connect project is sponsoring activities ranging from managing partner NREN’s R&E networks and promoting international R&E collaboration to “on the job training” in the fields such as financial administration, tendering, communication and public relations. The project as well endeavors to develop local network engineering expertise in the developing country university IT departments and NRENS, also seeking to promote national investment for renovating campus networks and NREN facilities. Activities include technical training for universities, NRENs and regional Network Operator Groups (NOGs), direct engineering assistance to improve networks, network security and performance monitoring, wireless infrastructure to improve faculty and student access.

Train the trainers

Recent advances in medical technology require closer cooperation than ever between doctors and network engineers in hospitals. By offering good technical training and workshops for engineers in hospitals, patients will ultimately benefit from medical standardization with better healthcare services. Moreover, building a strong social network between medical professionals and engineers lays a firm foundation for further development and collaboration in serving society with better medical services.
