Sun Microsystems Portugal and UMIC – Knowledge Society Agency signed this Monday a protocol aimed at implementing the collaboration line in ICT Academies, opened by the Memorandum of Understanding established between the Government and the manufacturer last February.
Through the protocol now signed, Sun starts to support UMIC in the development of ICT Academies, promoting its training offer in Higher Education institutions, namely polytechnic institutes and universities, as part of the ICT Academies network, which integrates similar initiatives with other companies.
