FOSSASIA 2014 will be held at the the new campus of the prestigious Norton University in Phnom Penh Cambodia. Norton University (Khmer: សាកលវិទ្យាល័យ ន័រតុន, NU) is the leading university in the IT and technology area in Cambodia established in 1996. The University was one of the first private Cambodian educational institutions.

In 2006, Tom Chandler, a 3-D modeling specialist from Monash University in Melbourne was invited to Norton as a senior visiting fellow. The aim of the fellowship was to introduce architecture and science students to specialised animation and modeling techniques and allow them to learn to digitally render their own heritage using 3-D techniques.

Norton university is considered to be the Best IT Education Center in Cambodia years after its establishment, and was chosen by National ICT Development Authority (NiDA), Ministry of Post-Telecommunications (MPTC), International Data Group (IDG) to receive the award, and that official honor in 2010.[3] The university has two campus both based in Phnom Penh. The current Rector, and Vice Rector of Norton University are Professor Chan Sok Khieng and Professor Un Van Thouen, respectively. View Larger Map
