Microsoft outlined the specific projects to which it’s looking to universities for research contributions on July 16, the opening day of its 2007 Microsoft Research Faculty Summit.
(The Research Faculty Summit has been an annual event. Starting next year, it will become an every-two-year event, with a new Microsoft graduate-student-focused research event occuring in the “off” years in between, company officials said.)
Microsoft officials made public the six research areas for which the company has published requests for proposal (RFPs) and the amount of funding the company is putting aside for each.
