IBM has turned 100 years of existence. What are the results in the company's research labs today? This question will be addressed at the University of Luxembourg’s IBM Centennial Lecture held by Hans Van Mingroot on Monday, 5 December.

100 years of existence are a good reason to look back to the company’s past, but also to look ahead to the future.

What are the concepts and results produced in IBM’s research labs today? When and where do research, applications and business meet? What is the role of the ‘new students’, and how can they, in close collabora­tion with professors and university faculties, ensure again that new concepts enter quickly into changing sectors and organisations? And how do the strengths of IBM in the world of IT and services relate to the development of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China)?

This will be the topic of the University of Luxembourg’s  IBM Centennial Lecture held by Hans Van Mingroot, IBM Business development and academic relations Belgium-Luxembourg, on Monday, 5 December at 5 pm at the Chambre de Commerce, room C2 on Kirchberg.
