Dr Edwards was selected from a highly competitive pool of over 300 applicants, demonstrating her outstanding professional accomplishments and commitment to advancing knowledge in the rapidly evolving digital infrastructure sector.

The programme equips participants with critical insights into the systems that power today’s global digital economy and explores the environmental, policy, engineering, and societal implications shaping the future of internet infrastructure and artificial intelligence technologies.
