The United Arab Emirates Telecommunications Regulatory
Authority (TRA) recently announced academic membership in the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) for Ajman University of Science and Technology
(AUST).
ITU is a specialized agency of the United Nations that focuses on
information and communication technology issues.
AUST believes the membership will be a key step in its
roadmap toward scientific and academic development. With the membership, the
university can enhance its academic levels by being in the know about the
latest developments in information technology. Additionally, students of Ajman
University can now take courses in the domain of radio communications and the
World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA). They can connect with
international researchers across the world, at more than 100 universities and
research centers.
AUST’s membership comes on the heels of Higher Colleges of
Technology’s (HCT) plans to use its membership to enhance the university’s
academic path and foster global partnerships. Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi
also received an invitation for membership.
For its part, the TRA noted its support of the universities,
stating that it is focused on strengthening ties with all educational and
academic institutions in the UAE.
