Nokia is pleased to announce the results of its US University Collaboration funding program for the second half of 2011. Recipients of unrestricted research funds through this program, totaling over $200,000, are first nominated by a Nokia employee, and then carefully selected as the most promising research agendas driven by top researchers in the field.
The nomination submission process is very competitive and only a few nominations are accepted. The breadth of the research projects accepted represent a compelling vision for the future.
The following research projects were selected for their business relevance and with an eye for social responsibility, a value highly regarded by Nokia:
