As rapid technological advancements open up new opportunities and create new markets, a whole range of new roles will emerge across industries. Helping people develop the skills they need to benefit from the digital economy is the defining challenge of our time.

On its new campus, the University of Luxembourg has built a user lab and a learning centre where it will develop innovative teaching and learning methods for primary, secondary, higher and adult education. With that, the University wants to further optimise the learning experience of students and lecturers in the light of the broad digitisation of our society.<\/p><p>\u00ab\u00a0Digitisation does not only mean that we offer learning material in digital form or communicate with students through digital channels,\u201d explains Romain Martin, Vice-President for Academic Affairs at the University of Luxembourg. \u201c<strong>Digital learning goes beyond the classroom.<\/strong> New technologies and collaboration tools enable combining traditional forms of education with, for example, peer learning, to create new learning experiences. This is achieved best in collaboration with strong technology partners such as Cisco. And with Networking Academy, we provide extra transferable digital skills in the country as outlined in the government&rsquo;s plan Digital L\u00ebtzebuerg.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><p>\u00ab\u00a0Cisco&rsquo;s strong understanding of digitisation, technology trends and skills all shape the Cisco Networking Academy learning portfolio. We strongly believe that as the world digitises, it is our responsibility to work together with academia and governments to help educate the workforce of the future,\u00a0\u00bb says Romain Siebenaler, Country Manager Cisco Luxembourg. \u201cOver the next months, we plan to extend the cooperation between the University of Luxembourg and Cisco beyond Networking Academy. We are looking to work together and design, test and constantly improve the tools and settings and develop efficient learning environments for the digital world.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Luxembourg and technology company Cisco announced the launch of a Cisco Networking Academy.
