ResearchChannel is a nonprofit media and technology organization that connects a global audience with the research and academic institutions whose developments, insights and discoveries affect our lives and futures.
An intellectual community, ResearchChannel was founded in 1996 by leading research and academic institutions so they could share the work of their researchers with the public. These ideas are shared in their original form — unmediated and without interruption. Today, more than 70 participating members and affiliates provide all programming, and that number continues to grow.
Remarkable speakers, researchers and professors present revolutionary thoughts and discoveries on ResearchChannel. Johns Hopkins University, the University of Washington and the Library of Congress are just a few of the world-renowned institutions that participate and whose programs are featured.
ResearchChannel acts as a technology testbed and innovator for new methods of global distribution and interaction. Network, computing and content-creation collaborations allow participants to make the most of traditional, new and emerging technologies. Collaborative projects include those with Intel, IBM and Microsoft Research. New technologies are essential for enhancing research, reaching a wider audience and providing alternative, high-speed exchanges of video resources.
Building successful high-tech products and businesses actually involves about only 20% computer science expertise - there are many other factors that are required for success. In this talk, Norm Meyrowitz, NKM Advisors, examines the 20 questions - and the myriad disciplines - that are necessary to develop the 21st-century sliced bread.
