La Trobe University and Cisco join forces on all things IoT | ZDNet
Melbourne’s La Trobe University and Cisco have signed an agreement to collaborate on all things related to the Internet of Things (IoT) — from skills to research, and technology development.
As part of the agreement, Cisco has created a new role, chair of the Internet of Things, who will be responsible for teaching IoT to undergraduates and postgraduates, as well lead research that could inform the development of IoT solutions to solve real-world problems.
While it’s unclear who exactly will take up the role, La Trobe said it will be an “internationally acknowledged leader in teaching and research”.
