The Future of Information Alliance (FIA) Seed Grant Competition

 

Help solve the information challenges of today's world.

Student teams work with faculty mentors and FIA Partners on real world problems.

Four teams will each win grants of up to $25,000.

 

Join us Sept. 24, 2-4 pm in the Stamp Colony Ballroom for a kickoff informational meeting. You can learn more about the program and hear from the FIA Founding Partners:  the Smithsonian Institution, the National Geographic Society, the Library of Congress, the US National Park Service, the Newseum, the National Archives, Sesame Workshop, WAMU 88.5, the Barrie School, and the Office of the Governor of Maryland.

 
The seed grant program has been made possible by support from the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation.


Registration is required. Visit http://fia.umd.edu  for details.

On the FIA site you'll also see an invitation to take part from Dan Russell, Google's "director of user happiness," who will be taking in reviewing student ideas when he is on campus as this year's "Future-ist in Residence" at UMD.
