IBM Poland and the Wroclaw University of Technology are going to set up the first university cloud computing center in Poland for students and professors, industry partners and government agencies.

The school is supposed to create a new academic curriculum based mainly on IBM Tivoli software and make cloud-focused courses available to 1,500 students. They said cloud computing skills are increasingly in demand by Polish employers. The school is the first university to become part of IBM's Multipurpose Cloud Computing Center established this year and opened to all institutes of higher learning.

Last year IBM and the Polish government signed an agreement to cooperate on the creation of a new IBM IT service delivery center in Wroclaw.
