Our employees are passionate about their alma maters and stay actively involved with all aspects of university life. Yahoos are frequently found on campus giving tech talks about their areas of interest and expertise. In some cases we are able to provide speakers to attend on-campus events (depending on the nature of the event, the topic and location).

With over 500 million users worldwide we have the perspective to help academic research reach a new level. We love to share the kinds of challenging problems in the world of the Internet that we deal with every day. In that aim we’ve created a reference library of interesting and scientifically useful datasets for non-commercial use by academics and other scientists. We’re pleased to make these datasets available to researchers who are advancing the state of knowledge and understanding in web sciences.

Cloud computing is becoming an important arena for researchers and developers to test next generation software services, and scalable software and systems is at the heart of providing cloud services via the Internet.

At Yahoo, we are very supportive of academic research in cloud computing that, to date, has been limited due to significant cost barriers in getting large computing systems operational and the lack of software tools. By making large systems available and by contributing to open source software such as Pig and Hadoop, we hope to enable researchers and students to innovate and create new kinds of systems, applications, and tools, pushing the boundaries in this field.
