This is the mail that I sent to the staff list. As promised I am sending to this list as well as not everybody is on the staff list. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Possible Collaboration with Intel and Lenovo Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2023 09:39:54 +0000 From: David Colling <d.colling@imperial.ac.uk> To: ph-staff-dl <ph-staff-dl@imperial.ac.uk> Dear All, Imperial has entered into a partnership with Intel and Lenovo. While this is largely over the provisioning of HPC systems at Imperial it is also meant to encourage joint research ventures. This has been given the somewhat cheesy name of ICICLE (Imperial College Intel Corporation LEnovo). Intel are making an upfront investment of $250,000 in joint projects, however in our initial meeting with them, they pointed out that when they have done this with similar organisations in the past, this figure has quickly grown to a substantial number of $M. So I think that there is potential for significant collaboration here if your research fits with Intel's interests. I have attached some slides from the initial meeting and slide 3 outlines the 6 areas in which Intel are interested in collaborating. Please read and contact me if you think that your research interests fit into any of these areas. The next meeting with Intel and Lenovo is next Wednesday (11/1/2023) morning so it would be helpful if you have ideas that you send them to me by (say) midday on Tuesday. Best, david
