AUS Claims Top Digital Campus Award at GITEX 2024
The recognition comes after AUS became one of the first universities in the Middle East to implement Zoom technology four years ago.
The university has since integrated Zoom’s features across its campus to support teaching and working processes.
“This partnership has allowed us to transition from traditional methods to a more dynamic, connected campus environment, fostering greater collaboration and engagement which, in turn, helps to speed up AUS’ research and innovation. Today, Zoom has evolved beyond a simple video conferencing tool into a comprehensive workspace partner. Our strategic use of this technology underscores the university’s dedication to providing a forward-thinking digital experience that meets the needs of our diverse academic community,” Amina Abdulrahim, Director of IT Services and Security at AUS added.
