Microsoft is pleased to host its seventeenth annual Microsoft Research Faculty Summit in Redmond, Washington.

Participants will have the opportunity to stay an extra day to engage in workshops on topics that include quantum algorithms, the edge of AI, and safe autonomous cybersecurity.Every year the field of computing, fueled by academic and industry research, is positioned to address world-scale challenges.
And, every year the magnitude of “world-scale” and the capabilities of computing advance dramatically.
The 2016 Faculty Summit will be no different.
