Jun 23 2016
The University of Helsinki, Aalto University and Nokia have recently established a research unit that will help identify and provide solutions to crucial problems pertaining to the science data handling and networking industry. The new Nokia Center for Advanced Research (NCAR) aims to facilitate joint research activities between Nokia Bell Labs and its academic partners and aims for breakthrough results.
The NCAR vision pertains to a world in which billions of users and hundreds of billions of things are connected and form the basis for new personalised, adaptive, attentive, social and smart services. The requirements for massive scalability in terms of data and connectivity, dynamic operation and machine intelligence present a number of problems that will be addressed by the centre, said Professor Sasu Tarkoma who leads the unit coordinated by the Computer Science Department of the University of Helsinki. Professor Antti Ylä-Jääski from the Department of Computer Science at the Aalto University is the Deputy Head of NCAR.
The centre was established through a donation from Nokia of 150 000 euros to the University of Helsinki. The Faculty of Science at the University of Helsinki provided matching funds of 100 000 euros. Funding will be derived from its status as an open research facility complemented by research projects coordinated through the centre.
