This project establishes a new virtual institute, Wireless Innovation between Finland and US (WIFIUS), for promoting and sustaining mutually-beneficial research and education collaborations between US and Finland in the area of wireless networks. The institute provides an environment for creative international collaboration that leverages the synergies and resources for research and education in the two countries in order to accelerate the rate of development of research innovations and the development of talent and work-force capable of excelling in the a new highly interconnected world. The objectives of the institute are to: (1) facilitate and support existing and new international research and education activities in the broad area of wireless networks, (2) enable sharing of knowledge and cross-fertilization among the participants of various relevant international projects, (3) enable sharing of expertise with emerging experimental platforms, standards and wireless technology policies in the two countries, and (4) facilitate and support interaction between academia, industry and government agencies of the two countries. The proposal also describes the activities and mechanisms that will be adopted in order to achieve these objectives. The technical focus of the institute is on wireless spectrum efficiency technologies, which intellectually aligns along the interests of researchers in the two countries, as well as the countries' national priorities. The institute employs a number of activities including: (a) a web portal that provides services and content to participants, (b) physical and virtual PI meetings, (c) physical and virtual student investigator meetings, (d) yearly summer schools and (e) graduate student exchange.

该项目建立了一个新的虚拟研究所，即芬兰和美国之间的无线创新（WIFIUS），以促进和维持美国和芬兰之间在无线网络领域的互利研究和教育合作。该研究所为创造性的国际合作提供了一个环境，利用两国研究和教育的协同作用和资源，以加快研究创新的发展速度，并培养能够在新的高度相互联系的世界中脱颖而出的人才和劳动力。该研究所的目标是：（1）促进和支持无线网络广泛领域现有和新的国际研究和教育活动，（2）促进各种相关国际项目参与者之间的知识共享和相互促进，（3）促进两国新兴实验平台，标准和无线技术政策的专业知识共享，（4）促进和支持两国学术界、产业界和政府机构之间的互动。该提案还说明了为实现这些目标将采取的活动和机制。该研究所的技术重点是无线频谱效率技术，这沿着两国研究人员的兴趣以及两国的国家优先事项在智力上保持一致。该研究所开展了一些活动，包括：（a）一个向参与者提供服务和内容的门户网站，（B）实际和虚拟的PI会议，（c）实际和虚拟的学生调查员会议，（d）每年的暑期学校和（e）研究生交流。
