Windows Embedded Academic Program Continues to Foster Collaborative Learning
Across Academic Community
Redmond, Wash. Microsoft Corp. today demonstrated its commitment
to fostering academic innovation by awarding grants to colleges and universities
around the world. The company announced that 77 colleges and universities
from more than 25 countries have been awarded Innovation Excellence Awards
for Windows Embedded with grants totaling $1.7 million to fund new research
projects and curriculum development based on Microsoft® Windows®
Embedded platforms. The grants were awarded by Microsoft University Relations
in conjunction with the Microsoft Windows Embedded Academic Program (WEMAP),
a free program that provides academic educators and researchers with access
to source code, development tools and support for the development of projects.
Today's Innovation Excellence Awards for Windows Embedded
announcement is another step in Microsoft's strong alliance with academia
in turning ideas and research into reality. Microsoft will host a Windows
Embedded Academic Developers Conference to help jump-start learning opportunities
and build a worldwide community for grant recipients and other members
of the academic community.
"We received a tremendous quantity of remarkable proposals
from the academic community for research projects and curriculum development
based on the Windows Embedded platforms. Winners were selected for their
outstanding examples of creativity and innovation," said Douglas
Leland, director of University Relations at Microsoft Research. "From
robotics to wireless and ubiquitous computing, there is a great deal of
activity in the device space. As more and more powerful computing devices
develop, making fundamental contributions to the future of technology,
our mission at Microsoft is to help promote that innovation and make software
easily accessible to empower the next generation of engineers."
To participate in the Innovation Excellence Awards for
Windows Embedded, more than 120 colleges and universities worldwide submitted
more than 130 research and curriculum proposals that included use of either
Windows CE .NET or Windows XP Embedded. Grant recipients were selected
based on a variety of criteria, including scientific merit, novelty, innovation
and public accessibility to the results of the work.
