The Swiss Joint Research Center (Swiss JRC) is a collaborative research engagement between Microsoft Research and the two universities that make up the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology: ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, which serves German-speaking students) and EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, which serves French-speaking students). The Swiss JRC is a continuation of a collaborative engagement that began back in 2009, when the same three partners embarked on ICES (Innovation Cluster for Embedded Software) and was renewed for another five years in 2014.
With this workshop, we started a new phase of our engagement. Ten project collaborations kicked off, four between ETH Zurich and Microsoft and six between EPFL and Microsoft respectively. Project PIs presented their collaboration plans to an audience from all three organizations and got the opportunity to discuss their research plans in project teams. More details can be found on the project overviews tab. The full agenda is included on the agenda tab.
