Microsoft on Monday officially opened a research center in Aachen, Germany, a move that makes the company eligible to take part in projects funded by the European Commission and by individual European countries.
The European Microsoft Innovation Centre will conduct research into Web services, security and privacy technologies, and wireless technologies, according to the company. It will focus on three areas: enterprise computing, embedded devices and the extended home. Projects will be developed jointly with European academia and industry partners.
