For nearly 40 years, Intel's unwavering commitment to moving technology forward has transformed the world.

More innovations, more inclusiveness, more insightful technologies in more places around our networked world.

2006 is a leap year. The year 100 million people around the world will discover digital for the first time. The year 150 million more people will become part of the wireless world. The year the living room will grow more interactive and more people will be using technology in more fascinating ways than ever imagined.

Digital Inclusion Awards

Microsoft Research announced a $1.2 million funding opportunity through a request for proposal process last fall and now the 17 winning proposals have been selected. The goal: to empower academic researchers worldwide to tackle technological challenges to positively affect health, education and socioeconomic conditions.

The term “Digital Inclusion” describes the goal of expanding the capabilities of computing technology worldwide to better serve social and economic challenges of underserved communities, both rural and urban. Specifically, Digital Inclusion means that computing must be affordable, accessible and relevant. The External Research and Programs group is the arm within Microsoft Research that engages with the worldwide academic research community. Just as Microsoft Research is interested in advancing the state-of-the-art of technologies in the research areas in which we work, the worldwide academic research community is also working to advance the state-of-the-art of technologies. So there’s a natural intersection between the interests of the worldwide academic research community and Microsoft Research. The External Research & Programs group is always looking out for academic research trends, interests, and areas that are significant and relevant.

 - Tom Healy, the Digital Inclusion RFP program manager in the External Research & Programs group at Microsoft Research.
