London research institute aims to enhance sustainability
Intel has announced the creation of the Institute of Sustainable Connected Cities in London.
Working with Imperial College London and University College London, the company plans to establish a research institute focused on understanding and enhancing the sustainability of cities and their inhabitants' quality of life.
"Intel and the two universities are already hard at work defining a robust research agenda including plans to engage the communities in and around London in defining the future of sustainable city life," said Justin Rattner, Intel CTO, pictured.
According to Rattner, the collaborating institutions will conduct 'world leading' research that draws on areas such as technology, user experience, business model innovation, the built environment and commerce.
Details of individual projects are expected to be confirmed in the first half of 2012.
