Alberta and HP expand research relationship to drive innovation in information and communications technology

Research in Alberta on information and communications technology is poised to benefit from three proposed projects between the Alberta government and HP. Memoranda of understanding signed today between the Alberta government and HP set the stage for the development of joint research projects on advanced computing and data center management, nanotechnology and advanced videoconferencing technology.

The proposed projects include the establishment of a new facility at the University of Calgary for work on advanced data centre operation, joint research with the National Institute for Nanotechnology to develop tiny sensors to improve medical and environmental diagnostics, and work with the University of Alberta to advance videoconferencing technology. These research collaborations would extend ongoing relationships between HP and the two universities.
