Arm is donating £3.5 million to enable 15 PhD students over the next five years to study at CASCADE – the dedicated new Computer Architecture and Semiconductor Design Centre at the University of Cambridge's Department of Computer Science and Technology.
The first three students to be supported by the Arm donation will begin their studies at the new CASCADE Centre in the autumn of 2025. They will be followed by another three students each year for the following four years.
Arm – the company building the future of computing with its global headquarters in Cambridge – is the first organisation to donate to the CASCADE Centre, which is based here in the Department of Computer Science and Technology.
Professor Timothy Jones, Director of the Centre and a Fellow of Gonville & Caius College, says: "We're very grateful to Arm for their generous support. As well as funding 15 PhD students over the next five years, their involvement is helping us realise our vision of a Centre where research into addressing key challenges in this field is informed and supported by our industrial partners.
"This is extremely valuable to us as we work to make the Centre a destination for collaboration between companies, generating pre-competitive open-source artefacts and driving development of novel computer architectures."
