Sony Unveils University Research Program - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

Sony is out to woo academia through a new research program that focuses on a broad palette of technology. The company is taking a two-pronged approach to teaming up with North American universities: faculty innovation awards and an annual research award. The innovation awards, worth up to $100,000, will be given to institutions that submit one-year research projects in any of several areas: artificial intelligence, the internet of things, virtual reality, autonomous driving and robotics. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/08/03/sony-unveils-university-research-program.aspx
