Through our programs for Latin America, External Research & Programs provides research grants, training assistance, conference support, and faculty development assistance. The goals of the
Latin American academic programs are to advance the research agenda and
support the research community in Latin America, support research
collaborations between Latin American Universities and Microsoft
Research, and develop innovative curriculum and new pedagogies.
One example of
program support in Latin America are the Microsoft learning
laboratories, which are outfitted with leading-edge computing equipment
(such as computers, network hardware, handheld devices, and printers) donated by Microsoft Research. These learning laboratories become a focus of activity
for academic pursuits on campus, including student work, projects,
classes, research, and social activity. The learning laboratories are
supported by student consultants, who receive direct support from
Microsoft Research. These student consultants are technical contacts at
the learning laboratories who provide guidance and technical
assistance for such things as students’ course work, student software
competitions, faculty teaching, faculty research projects, and
proof-of-concept projects. The learning labs also provide a
distribution point Microsoft software through the MSDN Academic
Alliance. The software is used for all academic purposes on campus;
including course work, projects, and research.
Over the past three
years, twenty-two (22) research grants have been awarded to academic
