Entitled the ‘Innovation in Education Grant Initiative’, it offers substantial grants to universities and secondary schools who, by submitting proposals, can apply for a donation from HP to support their most innovative education projects. 2009-07-10 http://h41111.www4.hp.com/globalcitizenship/uk/en/bulletin/29/news1.html HP has sponsored a new, comprehensive report published by the World Wildlife Fund that argues that the development of a global, open access, video conferencing infrastructure could significantly reduce CO2 emissions, whilst providing additional business benefits at the same time. 2009-07-10 http://h41111.www4.hp.com/globalcitizenship/uk/en/bulletin/29/news2.html Privacy and data protection.

The aim of the two-year project, which was undertaken in five countries in conjunction with UNESCO, was to use grid computing technology to develop and strengthen networks between experts working away from their own countries and university students at home. The project has produced some very positive results. So much so that HP is now expanding the initiative to 14 countries, taking in countries in Africa and the Middle East. Arnaud Pierson, Strategic Universities Research Collaboration Programme Manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, is managing the project and he spoke to HP about how it will work. 2009-05-26 http://h41111.www4.hp.com/globalcitizenship/uk/en/bulletin/28/feature.html How is it possible to tackle the growing problem of e-waste in Africa and, at the same time, stimulate economic development through creating new job opportunities? For the past two years, HP has been conducting a pilot project to see how the problem of e-waste in Africa can be most effectively tackled - and to see how to put the increase in redundant IT equipment to good use. Working in conjunction with the Global Digital Solidarity Fund (DSF) and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research (Empa), HP has unveiled details of the latest phase of the pilot project, with some encouraging results. 2009-05-26
