Stretching Out
Science · 2001
India may become the latest outpost for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) high-tech Media Lab. The Indian Cabinet last week approved $16 million for the Media Lab Asia project, which hopes to join MIT and India's information technology ministry in what could eventually become a 10-year, $1.25 billion technology development push. A new multidisciplinary research center, to be opened later this year in a new facility outside Mumbai, will be a pilot project modeled after the original Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and one established last year in Dublin, Ireland.
