Regional Intel Higher Education Academic Forums provide a venue to foster interaction between Intel and leading universities worldwide. Initiated in Europe in 1996, these forums have served to allow university faculty and researchers direct access to Intel technologists and additionally provide a forum for university participants to highlight their own ongoing research and curriculum topic interests. Planning for additional 2005 events is currently underway. Highlighted Forums
The 2nd Asia Academic Forum was successfully concluded on Oct. 26, 2005 at Novotel, Shanghai.
The 2005 Intel Asia Academic Forum focuses on two key areas: Manufacturing Technology and Computing and Communication Technology. It contains 10 keynotes and 12 parallel sessions covering wide range of technology topics in these two areas; as well as opportunities for professors and Intel technologists to interact through 2 networking & poster sessions.
The goals of the forum were to increase the interaction and collaboration between the academe and Intel. In particular, the professors would be updated on Intel’s technology roadmap, business and research directions. Focused sessions provided an open environment for learning from each other and promoted collaboration between professors and Intel key technologists. Europe 2005 Highlight Forum participants had two technology tracks
to choose from
The motto of this years forum highlighted the "40 Years of Moore's Law -
Collaborate, Innovate, Lead." Moore's law has become a major innovation driver
not only for Silicon Technologies, but also for Architecture, Software, Tools,
and the whole computing eco system. Senior Intel attendees included 4 Intel
Vice Presidents (Abel Weinrib, Christian Morales, Jai Hakhu, Stefan Lai) and 4
Intel Fellows (Gene Meieran, Uri Weiser, Boris Babayan, Greg Atwood).
To cover the breadth of research areas represented at the forum, the
presentation sessions were broken into two tracks: Systems & Architecture and
Silicon & Manufacturing Technologies. The Silicon & Manufacturing Technologies
represented a new area for the Intel EMEA forum and included over 10
presentations from Intel Fellows and Technologists. These presentations
illustrated how Moore's Law continues to be both extend, (continuing to scale
and keep doubling the number of transistors on a chip every generation) and
also expand, (add greater functionality to the chip) through research and
development efforts in cooperation and collaboration with Academic Research.
Intel Vice President Christian Morales
announces the new entrepreneurship program
Intel Corporation also commemorated the occasion of the forum to launch an
"Entrepreneur Program" focused at providing tools for universities to develop
and sustain their own technology entrepreneur programs. Elements of the program
include curricula, a cookbook for developing an entrepreneur incubator and an
outline for supporting entrepreneur business plan competitions. These program
tools will be openly available to all interested through the Curriculum Forum
on the Intel ® Higher Education Website. Christian Morales, Vice President
Sales and Marketing and Co-General Manager of Intel Europe, said: "It is very
important that educators shift their focus to promoting an entrepreneurial
culture. Today, by and large, many educational systems are geared toward
creating employees, not entrepreneurs. To change this dynamic, the core
curriculum at universities should add basic instruction in what it takes to
start and operate a company, including training in formulating a strategy,
writing a business plan, marketing, finance and raising capital." A key element
of this program is the sharing of the world class entrepreneur curricula
provided by the Haas School of Business, University of California Berkeley.
Professor Jerome S.Engel of the Hass School of Business joined the podium at
the announcement to underline the importance of this program also to Berkeley.
Research and Curricula projects provided an
opportunity for idea and technology exchange Invited academic guests included professors from universities across Europe as well as Israel and South Africa. Invitees came from campuses that have a formal relationship as an Intel focus university as well as universities located in sites where Intel conducts research and development, manufacturing or other strategic efforts. Latin America:
Brazil 2004 Highlight
Intel presentations covered the broad range of technical and relationship
models such as: "New Technology for High Performance Computing"; "Development
of WiMAx Technology and Radio in CMOS" and "Collaboration Model between Intel
and Universities". Intel speakers included Worldwide Higher Education Manager,
Tim Saponas, Vice President of the Sales and Marketing Group and Director of
Technology Programs, Frank Spindler, and Vice President of Channel Platforms
Group, Shane Wall.
