Virtual Center for Collaboration, Open Solutions, and Innovation (COSI) in “Green” Technologies

 

The Virtual Center for Collaboration, Open Source, and Innovation (COSI) in “Green” Technologies is an initiative sponsored by the non-profit Shepherd University Research Corporation (SURC) in collaboration with other academic and emerging green technology organizations to improve the quality of life, reduce costs, and protect our environment by collaborating on the development of innovative ‘open’ solutions and sharing resulting knowledge, software, and technologies with the larger community.

 

One of the primary goals of the Center for Collaboration, Open Solutions, and Innovation (COSI) in “Green” Technologies is to lower the ‘Total Cost Ownership’ (TCO) of  investments for individuals and organizations by providing ‘open’ solutions that may include hardware, software, training and educational materials, environmental impact studies, and other needed tools.  This should help make green technology and hybrid energy solutions more affordable and also contribute to the other goals of improving our environment and quality of life in the U.S. 

 

Key Objectives are for COSI to establish a nationally recognized web site and the support needed to:

          Facilitate knowledge exchange on “green” technologies and hybrid energy solutions

          Facilitate an ‘open source’ green technology software exchange

          Facilitate collaboration on grant proposals to develop innovative new “green” technologies and hybrid energy solutions

          Support collaborative online community discussions about “green” technologies and hybrid energy solutions

          Provide key links to “green” technology news sources, studies, books, organizations, educational resources, etc.

          Seek funding sources to help accomplish all of the above.
