Great news! My colleagues at HP Labs have just launched a global Call for Proposals as part of their HP Labs Innovation Research Program. This is an open and competitive Call for Proposals, where HP labs is “…soliciting your best ideas on a range of topics with the goal of establishing new research collaborations…”
The call for proposals is organized by region, where each region has specific research themes of interest. Start by identifying your region:
...then view the research topics of interest for that region.
There are several topics that I think might overlap with education and/or the creation of a rich IT infrastructure in an education setting. For example, in the Americas there are research topics such as “Social Computing: Methods for Harvesting the Collective Intelligence of Groups” (topic 7) and “Next-Generation Multimedia Communication and Collaboration Systems” (topic 9). In India, they are seeking collaborators to explore “How do we design compelling experiences based on pen, touch and hand gesture-based interaction for the key user activities on small form factor devices? For family-oriented systems used in the home?”
If you have any questions, check out the FAQs. The proposals submission deadline is 18 June 2008.
Good luck to all of you who apply!
