[Allgsacstudents] FW: Office of Technology Partnerships "Industry Research Partnership Series with Microsoft Agriculture "

[allgsacstudents at lists.ucr.edu]

The Office of Technology Partnerships is excited to host our next UC Riverside "Industry Research Partnership Series” featuring Microsoft Agriculture on Wednesday May 10th, 2023. The event take place 12:00noon – 1:00pm and will be available virtually via Zoom.

The Speaker Series was created to expose faculty to consider avenues of engagement with various industries, with the goal of providing faculty an understanding of how a particular company collaborates with universities, research opportunities for faculty, opportunities to increase career opportunities for students, and internship programs. We are also interested to learn what is important to industry from a sustainability standpoint, particularly in relation to UCR’s OASIS Initiative. The OASIS project is based on six pillars addressing regional challenges: Sustainable Transportation & Infrastructure, Renewable Energy and Fuels, Agriculture Technology and Food Security, Natural Resource Management, Community Health and Health Disparity, and Human Development.

Description of Microsoft Agriculture: “The agriculture industry is at a turning point. To feed growing populations sustainably and efficiently under increasingly climatic conditions, we need to change farming practices and help with better decision making. From soil—where improvements to farming practices can help mitigate climate change to the shelf—where customers look for products with minimal carbon footprint—the agriculture and food value chain is primed for innovation. Microsoft’s goal is to help democratize data-driven insights to help all farmers and organizations achieve more and transform the agri-food value chain to become more productive, more transparent, and drive shared value all the way back to producers. At Microsoft, we’ve long recognized that scaling innovation across the industry starts with data. Microsoft Azure Data Manager for Agriculture allows to connect farm data from disparate sources, enabling organizations to leverage high-quality datasets and accelerate the development of digital agriculture solutions.”

Microsoft Agriculture speaker for the Wednesday May 10th virtual event will be:

We will be inviting faculty from the College of Engineering and the College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences. In addition, post docs, and graduate students will also be invited via zoom.
The goal is for our faculty (especially younger faculty) to become comfortable and willing to work with industry by directly hearing from an industry representative.

This virtual Zoom event is free to attend by requires pre-registration.
Attached is a Promotional Flyer for the zoom event which includes a zoom Registration Link.
