Hi,

I have been working on dedicating my work life to working with the CLA ever 
since I heard Jeff’s Keynote at the GoTo Conference in Aarhus, Denmark last 
year. I have the challenges that I have a full time job plus a full time family 
(and I would very much like to keep the family!). I have been working on 
getting funding to set up an Innovation Consortium with a local power company, 
investment house and University. The idea is to research and develop Nupic in 
the area of Green Technology (Wind/Solar power/Smart grid etc) in collaboration 
with a new GreenTech centre here in Vejle, Denmark where I live. (Here is a 
link if you want to know more about the GreenTech center 
http://www.greentechcenter.dk/uk.aspx, which opens in May 2014). I have reached 
a stage where I am about to give my first presentations, where I explain the 
concepts of the CLA, Nupic, and Grok. I am hoping if I get the funding to 
become a very active member of your community.

At this stage I have two questions:

1.     1 I have found a set of Jeff’s slides on the Internet (hawkinsjeff.pdf). 
May I use a subset of these when I explain Jeff’s ideas to the organizations 
mentioned above? I will only be given about 20 minutes so I cannot go through 
them all unfortunately.

2.     2 Do any of you know any neuroscientists/researchers in Europe, 
preferably close to Denmark who would be interested in joining such a 
consortium? Someone who is friendly to the CLA approach. What I would ideally 
like is some one who could read new research papers and filter and interpret 
those of relevance. Maybe a PhD student who is already doing most of the work 
anyway.

A little background on myself: I am trained as a Veterinary Surgeon in London 
and after seeing practice for 1.5 years in Norfolk started using Computers (at 
first to train Veterinary Students). After moving to Denmark with my Danish 
wife, I have worked as programmer, project leader, IT analyst and IT architect. 
For the last 20 years this has mostly been in the telecom industry. I have 
installed Nupic on my iMac and run all test cases (green) but so far have done 
no active experimenting or development work with the algorithm. I am very 
excited about getting my teeth into this fantastic area.
