More than 400 thought leaders from academia and research labs around the world convened at the Microsoft Corp. headquarters today for the eighth annual Microsoft Research Faculty Summit, where the company announced it will dedicate more than $6 million (U.S.) in research grants to colleges and universities. Microsoft executives and researchers also met with summit attendees to discuss opportunities for future technological breakthroughs and in what areas technology has the greatest potential to address societal issues.

Addressing professors and researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines, Rick Rashid, senior vice president of Microsoft Research, said, “Regardless of whether you’re a botanist or a brain surgeon, computer science increasingly impacts your work and has the power to provide better outcomes. We’re investing in programs with academia to build better technologies that can lead to better lives.”
