About the program
The IBM Shared University Research (SUR) Awards is a world wide monetary, cloud and equipment award program to promote research and innovation in strategic areas of mutual interest and to build skills in ‘New Collar’ jobs. Nominations for these awards must be initiated by someone within IBM.
The SUR Awards program strives to connect the research and researchers at universities with personnel in IBM: in organizations such as IBM Research, IBM Life Sciences, IBM Global Services and our development and product labs. This program is not aimed at supporting a single individual or research project. Rather, the intent is to support and have an impact in an area of significant interest to the university and IBM.
The SUR Awards program is designed to:
- Promote collaborative research projects that bring value to IBM, the technology community, and our world.
- Increase access to IBM technologies for research and in curriculum.
- Provide opportunities within IBM for undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students.
