NEM to Power Malaysia’s UCSI University Blockchain Education

[PRIBO247]

NEM Malaysia has been actively engaging the Malaysian
education sector in recent months, from signing partnerships
with private universities as well as enabling solutions for
Malaysian public universities .

 The engagements with educational institutions haven’t stopped with these two activities as the NEM Malaysia has added one more educational institution to its list of partners, Malaysia’s UCSI University.

The new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UCSI
University Malaysia will once again have NEM Malaysia power a
university’s blockchain education. Previously, NEM Malaysia
had already signed a similar MoU with Taylor’s University
Malaysia .

In the new MoU, one of the key areas that NEM will assist UCSI
University will be in the creation of a Blockchain syllabus for the
educational institution. This will be done by providing the
industry expertise and feedback that NEM has to further enhance
and facilitate the syllabus creation by the university.

“We are happy to partner and support UCSI University
to explore the use of blockchain for their students in
their curriculum so that more students and faculty are
trained. We believe that this knowledge will help
develop more blockchain developers who are able to
effectively contribute to the adoption of NEM
blockchain technology across multiple fields. We look
forward to engaging with USCI to develop on-campus
blockchain labs and other related events in the future at
their campuses”

-Stephen Chia, NEM Southeast Asia Regional Head and
NEM Foundation Council Member

The partnership also sees NEM powering the university’s
Blockchain lab which will also double up as a NEM Satellite.
This will see one of the existing computer labs be branded as
Blockchain Lab powered by NEM and will be where all related
blockchain projects will be conducted in the university. Students
involved in the Blockchain Lab will also be given training by the
NEM team so the will be well versed in Blockchain and NEM tech.

Finally, as part of the MoU, the NEM Blockchain Centre will be
opened up to UCSI University Diploma students working on their
final year projects that are related to blockchain. This will allow
the students to interact and engage with NEM Malaysia team
members allowing them further exposure and understanding of
the NEM blockchain and general blockchain knowledge for their
research purposes.
