Each layer has own players from university network hierarchy (academia) and industry branches . Top level universities tends to cooperate with Fortune 100 list of companies . National Labs prefer big and certified industrial partners . Deeper layer – smaller projects, funds and partners .Smaller project does not mean insignificance . Several smaller projects are subtasks of big ones outsourced to smaller institution or company . New technology is usually a cluster with small and big parts .Universities (group of researchers) and industrial companies need to find proper place in this complicated world of innovations International Academy of Business, Almaty | October 31 – November 1, 2013 | 11 COOPERATION IN IT AND ELECTRONICS .ECE and CS Departments in UC Berkeley, Davis, Santa Cruz and Stanford University have boards of industrial affiliates . Representatives from major companies attend on special annual meetings where faculty members present their R&D results . Horizontal links between university faculty members and fellow/principal engineers allows to bring high quality interns and outsource some tasks students . NCG or new college graduates from these schools are considered on the first row in hiring process to open positions in Fortune’100 list . Most of big IT/Electronic companies (Silicon Valley residents) usually use dedicated budget funds to support selected R&D teams in neighboring universities . Most of large scale federal grants also assume that the industry must subcontract academia institutions on certain share of budget . “Share funds and push innovations ahead!” International Academy of Business, Almaty | October 31 – November 1, 2013 | 12 EXAMPLE IN AMD GRAPHICS ARCHITECTURE R&M TEAM .Highly complicated and wide spectrum of activity requires advanced education level .Most of team members with PhD or Master degree from following universities: . Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon, Universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota, Oxford, INRIA (France), UC Davis and UC Berkeley, NRU ITMO and others . Even interns are now preferred with PhD degree to work long term as post docs on complex architecture research projects . We search them across the US and Europe and it is not easy to find appropriate persons .Best way to cooperate with departments in universities with funding young talent’s R&D and later recruit them in the group or other departments in AMD (10K engineers) International Academy of Business, Almaty | October 31 – November 1, 2013 | 13 THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SESSION.
