Discovery and Innovation in 2020 “ In the last two decades advances in computing technology, from processing speed to network capacity and the Internet, have revolutionized the way scientists work. From sequencing genomes to monitoring the Earth's climate, many recent scientific advances would not have been possible without a parallel increase in computing power – and with revolutionary technologies such as the quantum computer edging towards reality, what will the relationship between computing and science bring us over the next 15 years? http: //research. microsoft. com/towards 2020 science ”

Microsoft’s Global Cloud Research Engagement Initiative

Venus-C & Microsoft Demonstrating Interoperability

Additional Engagements in France and the UK France’s Premier Research Lab and Microsoft have partnered to create a joint research center. Horizon is the EPSRC-funded “digital economy hub” at the University of Nottingham. Today we announce a new INRIA-MS are of collaboration on the topic of Cloud Computing. Horizon’s Goals; driving adoption of ubiquitous computing and advancing the digital economy. This project will demonstrate computational neuroscience using Client+Cloud Computing. Microsoft is providing a substantial Azure resource to the University of Nottingham and their collaborating universities.
