Microsoft invests AU$900,000 in Brisbane eResearch project
Microsoft has invested in a project that will help scientists at the University of Queensland build the southern hemesphere's first advanced eResearch facility, which will be located in Brisbane.
The project, which will combine equal investments from Microsoft, the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Queensland government over a period of three years, will help build one of only 12 similar facilities around the world.
John Warren, University Relations Manager for Microsoft Research Asia said Microsoft had chosen to make this investment because the University has proven its pedigree in quality research.
