DE-CIX and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) launch the global Interconnection Academy, a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at providing a new standard for excellence in interconnection education.

The Academy is designed to prepare professionals with a comprehensive set of technical, operational, and business-related knowledge, equipping them with the skills necessary to excel in the fast-paced world of interconnection. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to sharpen your skills or a student eager to learn from the very best, you are welcome to the Interconnection Academy.

The Interconnection Academy seeks to provide a global standard certificate of excellence for interconnection experts. We prepare highly knowledgeable interconnection professionals by combining advanced technical, operational and business-related knowledge.

We address organisations’ learning needs in the interconnection field, digital infrastructure and business strategy related to them.

Our expert faculty members are at the forefront of interconnection research and practice, providing students with unparalleled access to cutting-edge knowledge and industry insights.

The Academy will ensure that students are well-equipped to tackle real-world connectivity challenges, helping them understand how to use interconnection to satisfy the demands of digital transformation.

We provide an open, community-based learning and knowledge-sharing space to deliver the best training around interconnection, merging technical and business aspects.

We will use the nanoMOOC format: an evolution of the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) format. This innovative approach has been designed to build competencies and engage participants in actionable learning.
