Nokia Joins Forces with MIT to Research Mobile Technology

Helsinki -- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Finland-
based mobile giant Nokia announced that they have teamed up to
develop mobile computing and communications technologies. CSAIL
and Nokia will establish a new research facility near the MIT campus,
where researchers from both parties will work closely together on a
new approach to mobile computing. About 20 researchers from each
will participate in joint projects under the direction of a joint steering
committee. "This is a totally unique kind of collaboration for both MIT
and Nokia," said CSAIL Director Rodney Brooks. The new venture
will begin operations in January 2006.
