Microsoft ponies up for academia | |

Microsoft has created a $1.2 million fund for academic research that focuses on putting computing into the hands of those less familiar with technology and with little access. Under the company's Digital Inclusion program, academic researchers worldwide can use funds to find ways to make computing more affordable, accessible and relevant, the company said Thursday. The software giant is particularly interested in projects that focus on applications for mobile devices, bringing connectivity and "culturally relevant" computing applications to people in areas without existing networks. Microsoft's funding program is the latest effort by an industry player to bolster academic research in the field of technology. | ||
