As a company that started out in academia , we’ve always known that a lot of the world’s best computer scientists don’t work in the private sector (or in Silicon Valley, for that matter!) but in universities and research centres around the world. newly announced centre in Paris. This diversity of engineering locations means that we’re able to create culturally diverse teams - and fun working environments . But they also enable us to stay closely in touch - and collaborate - with academics undertaking cutting-edge research at universities across Europe.earlier this year - we announced nearly €3.7 million in research funding via our Focused Research Awards scheme. The grants are going to 14 universities and research centres in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom.Focused Research Awards are unrestricted gifts that provide support for one to three years, and have been awarded to researchers in disciplines including software engineering, mathematical optimisation, information extraction and integration - and policy areas such as privacy. Recipients also get access to Google tools, technologies and expertise. German Academy of Science and Technology (Acatech) : User-centred Online Privacy , Henning KagermannMax Planck Institut Informatik, Germany : Robust and Scalable Fact Discovery from Web Sources , Gerhard Weikum, Martin Theobald, Rainer Gemulla
Saarland University, Germany : Test Amplification , Andreas Zeller, Gordon FraserEPFL, Switzerland : Automated Software Reliability Services , George CandeaCNRS, France and nine universities in France, Germany and Italy : Mathematical Optimization : Thorsten Koch (Zuse Institute of Berlin), Stefan Nickel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Leena Suhl (University of Paderborn), Narendra Jussien (Ecole des Mines de Nantes), Pierre Bonami (CNRS/Université d’Aix/Marseille), Pierre Lopez (CNRS/LAAS in Toulouse), Denis Trystram (INP Grenoble), Safia Kedad-Sidhoum (LIP6 in Paris), Andrea Lodi (University of Bologna).University of Cambridge, UK : Security-Oriented Analysis of Application Programs , Steven Hand, Robert Watsonresearch blog . These awards typically provide partial funding for PhD students. Google also supports 40 computer science PhDs worldwide through our PhD Fellowship Programmes , and currently supports 14 students in Europe. We also host over 20 faculty members on sabbatical each year world-wide, enabling them to work with Google engineering and policy teams on special projects.University Relations site .Posted by Maggie Johnson, Director of Education & University Relations and David Harper, Head of University Relations (EMEA)
