Cool stuff for Academic Developers

Academic Partnerships - Centers of Excellence

Monday Jan 05, 2009

It's amazing what gets done when people (and institutions) work together. A good example is the innovation that comes out the collaborative efforts that Sun formalizes with academic institutions through the Center of Excellence Program (COE). Here are some good examples:

  • Saint Paul College COE for next-generation immersive learning systems based on Project Wonderland. Check out Kevin's blog for info on the upcoming COE launch event;
  • The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi Centre of Excellence in E-governance which is conducting research to advance the eGovernance field to contribute to better social infrastructure,  provide enhanced security and a better quality of life for the citizens of India; and
  • The growing community of COEs adopting OpenSPARC to execute chip design research and course work based on Sun's chip multi-threading (CMT) design.
Of course, there are many more outstanding collaborative efforts underway in a variety of fields.
