Red Hat Collaboratory

A partnership between Red Hat and Boston University, the Red Hat Collaboratory connects BU faculty and students with industry practitioners working in open-source software communities.

The Collaboratory aims to advance research focused on emerging technologies in a number of areas including operating systems, cloud computing services, machine learning and automation, and big data platforms. It does this through:

• Sponsorship of research projects led by collaborative teams from BU and Red Hat
• Support for fellowship and internship programs for students
• Organization of joint colloquia, seminar series, and roundtables
• Engagement with other BU programs and offices

A fundamental goal of the collaboration is to develop techniques and best practices to integrate the rigor of academic research with the power of open-source innovation.
