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