  7. IBM University Programs • IBM Scholars Program • Faculty Awards • Shared University Research (SUR) • PhD Fellowship

  8. IBM Scholars Program • Free program membership to faculty and researchers of accredited academic institutions worldwide • Free IBM software for education and research • Over 1200 software products available via download • Technical support available via e-mail • Access to IBM eServers and Linux hubs • Discounts on hardware • Software • Curriculum and certification • Free training for faculty • Online resources including newsgroups, tutorials, webcasts, white papers and Redbooks, case studies and tools • Resume database of IBM certified students • Students passing IBM certification exams can post their resumes • IBM Business Partners and IBM Recruiting can view

  9. IBM Scholars Program Application To participate in the IBM Scholars Program, you must apply. This program is open to individual faculty members of qualified institutions. Membership within the IBM Scholars Program is a simple, two-step process: • You must apply for membership and select a user ID and password. • Once IBM receives your application and reviews it, your membership approval notification will be sent via e-mail. This typically takes two or three days. You can then immediately access all IBM Scholars Program content. http://www-306.ibm.com/software/info/university/

  10. IBM Scholars Program for students Students can visit the Student Portal, which provides resources and information about: • Jobs and fellowships • Downloads and demos • Contests • Journals and magazines • Newsletter and newsgroups

  11. The Equinox program aims at gaining IBM mindshare among EMEA Team Talent students with our Linux commitment and its related products. Today thirteen universities have been involved in the program and have received an IBM grants of xSeries entry-servers to run the IBM software for Linux. www.ibm.com/linux/equinox

  12. Eclipse is an open platform for tool integration built by an open community of tool providers. Operating under a open source paradigm, with a common public license that provides royalty free source code and world wide redistribution rights, the eclipse platform provides tool developers with ultimate flexibility and control over their software technology.

  13. Extreme Blue projects are varied--focusing on topics such as emerging business opportunities including e-business on demand, Grid, autonomic computing, and other emerging technologies. • Technical students enjoy the opportunity to work on something new and create innovation for the IT industry.

  17. IBM University Programs • IBM Scholars Program • Faculty Awards • Shared University Research (SUR) • PhD Fellowship

  18. Faculty Awards Funding for collaborative research projects The IBM Faculty Awards are competitive, cash-only awards that are intended: • To foster collaboration between researchers at leading universities worldwide and those in IBM research, development and services organizations. • To promote courseware and curriculum development to stimulate growth in disciplines and geographies that are strategic to IBM.

  19. Faculty Awards • Faculty Awards are granted annually on a global basis. The maximum award to any one recipient is USD40,000 per year. • The Faculty Awards are not contracts: no deliverables, no terms and conditions and no intellectual property rights may be stipulated as part of a Faculty Award. • To qualify for this internationally competitive award, the nominee must be a full-time professor at an accredited university which has a PhD or MBA program in the nominee's field. • IBM Faculty Awards are processed as donations to the awardee's university. As such, no overhead may be charged against the award. • Candidates must be nominated by an IBM employee.

  20. IBM University Programs • IBM Scholars Program • Faculty Awards • Shared University Research (SUR) • PhD Fellowship

  21. Shared University Research (SUR) program The IBM Shared University Research (SUR) program is designed to establish or enhance a strong IBM technical presence at selected leading research universities and with leading researchers in the university community world wide. In addition, this programs supports IBM's 4 goals for relationships with universities: • increased attraction and hiring of the best talent from universities (undergraduate, MBA, PhD.) • increased collaborative research in areas of interest to IBM - the exchange of ideas • increased access to and use of our technologies by university faculty, students and administration as well as access to university technologies • increased profitable sales of products and services - addressing university I/T needs There are about 50-60 awards per year world wide.

  22. SUR - IBM Focus Areas Business Value:services and software to improve business performance • Advanced Business Integration: data integration, PLM, e-learning, e-supply chain, information based medicine • Advanced Business Analytics: architecture of business and processes, risk analysis and legislative compliance, information management, privacy and security Infrastructure Value:hardware, software and services integrated into an open computing environment • Deep Computing: bio-informatics, distributed algorithms, visual analysis, stochastic analysis • Computing Infrastructure: integration of sensor data, future systems architectures, autonomic computing, grid computing, high performance computing, high availability computing, storage solutions, • Linux Enhancements Component Value - power management, nano-technology, wireless technology, computer-on-a-chip technology, new device structures

  23. SUR nominations • SUR nominations can be initiated in several ways, but all proceed from the assumption of IBM's technical interest in a project or research going on at the university. • SUR awards are selected by an IBM Executive Committee from nominations. • There is an electronic form that is filled by the IBM team in collaboration with the university. • These IBM people working with their university counterparts can prepare and submit a SUR proposal for review and consideration.

  24. IBM University Programs • IBM Scholars Program • Faculty Awards • Shared University Research (SUR) • PhD Fellowship

  25. PhD Fellowship • Support for academic year, internship, ThinkPad • The Shared University Research (SUR) program is designed to establish or enhance a strong IBM technical presence at selected leading research universities and with the leading researchers in the university community.

  26. PhD Fellowship - Scope The IBM PhD Fellowship Program is intended to honor exceptional PhD students in disciplines of mutual interest, including: chemistry, computer science, electrical engineering, materials science, mathematics, mechanical engineering and physics, as well as emerging technical fields, such as e-commerce, nanotechnology, and the computational sciences. Ph.D. fellowships are structured to allow students to pursue a technical career in either IBM's Research Division or IBM's Development Laboratories

  27. PhD Fellowship - Eligibility • Students must be nominated by a faculty member. They must be enrolled full-time in a college or university PhD program, and they should have completed at least one year of study in their doctoral program at the time of their nomination. • All fellowships cover tuition, fees, and a student stipend of $15,000 • Fellowships are awarded annually and are eligible for continuation based on the student's academic standing, continued progress and achievement, and the level of interaction with IBM's technical community
