Building Research Partnerships with Audio/Video Conferencing Facilities

9632665路易斯安那州EPSCoR委员会的Draayer LASER将建立一个压缩的音频/视频(A/V)通信网络，以增强该州的研究竞争力。拟议的网络将把八所高等教育机构和董事会相互连接起来。具体地说，激光将在为其EPSCoR研究集群和中心提供领导的机构中建立音频/视频中心。A/V中心将通过为EPSCoR研究人员提供参与机构间共享/战略会议的工具，使研究人员能够克服地理隔离，这是机构间研究合作的根本障碍；以及(2)作为扩大的下一代全州研究网络的原型。

9632665 Draayer LaSER, Louisiana's EPSCoR Committee, will build a compressed audio/video (A/V) communication network to enhance the state's research competitiveness. The proposed network will interconnect eight institutions of higher education and the Board of Regents. Specifically, LaSER will establish A/V centers at institutions which provide leadership for its EPSCoR research clusters and centers. The A/V centers will allow researchers to overcome the geographical separation that acts as a fundamental barrier to inter-institutional research collaborations by giving EPSCoR researchers tools for participating in inter-institutional sharing/strategy sessions; and (2) serve as a prototype for an expanded next-generation, statewide research network.
