SAVI is an effort to facilitate collaboration among scientists, engineers and educators across the globe to better leverage taxpayer resources to spur innovation, enable discovery and help solve society's most vexing problems.
> 
> Building on beneficial partnerships initiated by NSF-supported researchers, research institutes and universities, SAVI projects will address common challenges and serve as creative hubs for innovative research and education activities across borders.
> 
> SAVI's impact will be felt in:
> 
> Creating virtual institutes through networking among NSF-funded, U.S. researchers and international collaborators that have complementary strengths and common interests;
> Facilitating science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research and education partnerships among NSF-funded research centers/institutes--both virtual and real--and their international counterparts;
> Providing students, postdocs and junior faculty opportunities for research experiences abroad that lead to long-lasting international collaborations; and
> Strengthening connections between NSF and counterpart STEM research funding organizations around the globe by leveraging each other's investments in fundamental research, research facilities, and human resource development.
> At the October 5th briefing, representatives from three SAVI pilot projects--Wireless Innovation between Finland and the United States (Wi.Fi.US), Virtual Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (VI-MSS) (India), and the Physics of Living Systems Student Research Network (PoLS SRN) (Brazil, France, Germany, Israel, Singapore and the United Kingdom)--will speak briefly about their virtual institutes.
