The University of Waterloo is among seven Ontario universities that will be working with tech giant IBM in computer research, accessing a virtual “cloud” computing centre from all seven schools. The $210-million public-private partnership will allow professors and graduate students to share research and collaborate, said Tim Jackson, vice-president, external relations, at the University of Waterloo. “Bright people working with bright people create great ideas,” said Jackson. The project will create a virtual IBM Canada Research and Development Centre and 145 jobs in Ontario.
