ARI wishes to thank Associate Professor Dr Wan Rozaimi Sheik Osman, Director, ITU-UUM Asia Pacific Centre of Excellence,and her "die-hard" members for inviting ARI Director, Professor Dr Normah Omar to share ARI's experiences as a Higher Institutions' Centre of Excellence (HICoE).
There are indeed a lot of similarities between ITU-UUM CoE and ARI. Both are centres of excellence of two different public universities. But we share the same vision and aspiration of wanting to become a global player in our respective fields. Whilst ARI is focused in its niche research in Islamic Financial Criminology, ITU-UUM aspires to champion research and training in Rural ICT Development Programme for developing countries. ITU-UUM wishes to prepare itself on what is required to qualify as a HICoE. ITU-UUM started its operation on 2 January 2007. The Centre serves as the focal point for all rural ICT development initiatives across Asia Pacific region. Their core businesses and activities include: providing executive training programs; developing knowledge repository: research & development and consultancy services.
Currently, ITU-UUM's theme of ICT development includes the following:(i) Applications & Services (e-government, e-entertainment, e-democracy, Digital Literacy);(ii)Policies & Regulations (developing National Plans & Policies, Intellectual Properties, genders issues; (iii)Technology (wired and wireless, broadband, network management and operation). ARI believes that ITU-UUM has great potentials in leading research and training in Rural ICT Development Programme...
