ReX
[Research EXchange -- concluded on 2003]The ReX program aims at improving collaboration between research institutions working on computer software projects, especially those involving networking technology. Collaboration is improved by exchanging complementary research knowledge, and facilitated by a grants program covering costs of travel and temporary work abroad.
USENIX runs various other grant programs which are primarily directed at students. ReX's primary goal is research exchange, and ReX attempts to achieve this by exchanging researchers (which may include students) between institutions.
