Cisco Research Center sponsors symposia, lectures, academic visitors and research related events in an effort to increase collaboration and coordination between Cisco and the research community. The goal is to establish a partnership between Cisco engineers, eminent researchers and scholars to continue foster the growth of innovation.
Cisco hosts research scholars widely recognized and noted for their contribution to, and impact on, education and research. The Distinguished Lecture Series is a forum through which eminent thought leaders in the field of engineering and Computer Science are invited by Cisco Research to speak to a wide Cisco audience. Cisco Research invites upto four such leaders in a year to share their insights about the current research, emerging trends and technology future aligned with Cisco's technology vision. The Cisco Research Center and Cisco Engineering Learning host the Distinguished Lecture Series program.
Distinguished Lectures
Judy Estrin, CEO, JLabs – "Sustainable Innovation" – April 2009
John Doyle, California Institute of Technology – "The Architecture of Robust, Evolvable Networks" – March 2009
David Clark, Senior Research Scientist, MIT – "Designing an Internet for the Future" – November 2008
