Research Interest Groups (RIGs)

Research Interest Groups (RIGs) foster research that aligns with Red Hat’s technical direction and open source mission. The RIG connects Red Hatters with researchers at partner universities to form collaborations in support of particular research initiatives and provides an opportunity to share accomplishments.  The RIG is composed of interested Red Hat Associates with a strong interest in a particular research area.

In addition to joining a RIG, those interested in learning more about Red Hat Research and how we work to bring great research ideas into open source communities, subscribe to Red Hat Research Quarterly, sign up for our monthly newsletter (for Red Hatters), and follow our events, including the monthly Research Days series.

Americas RIG

EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) RIG

Red Hat associates from Boston, Westford and several other locations collaborate with North and South American researchers on many research projects. In addition to long-standing formal arrangements with Boston University, the Mass Open Cloud Alliance, and the University of Massachusetts, we support student and faculty research and open source development work for undergraduates, Master’s and PhD students.

The Brno Red Hat engineering site collaborates with several universities not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia but also in Europe. Our long-term partner universities are Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics and Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, but we also cooperate with several other universities, including Czech Technical University in Prague or Graz University of Technology, Austria.
