HP Labs Opens Research Opportunities to Academia

As announced in a recent press release, HP Labs are opening research opportunities to academia:

“HP today made it possible for colleges, universities and research institutions worldwide to participate in joint research with HP Labs, the company’s central research facility, through an open and competitive process.
The new HP Labs Innovation Research Program invites the worldwide academic community to submit proposals related to current research in the areas of information explosion, dynamic cloud services, content transformation, intelligent infrastructure and sustainability.
The program is the first offering of the HP Labs Open Innovation Office, which was established earlier this year as part of HP Labs’ new approach to research. The office is responsible for deepening HP Labs’ strategic collaborations with academia, the government and the commercial sector to produce mutually beneficial, high-impact research.
…
Program guidelines and the online submission tool are available at www.hpl.hp.com/open_innovation/irp. Proposals will go through an extensive review process within HP Labs. Selected winners will be notified in late 2008.”
