One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) announced that during Autumn 2007 it will launch a University Programme, under which interested students and staff can create "OLPC University Chapters" at their institutions.
Of the 6 institutions so far mentioned (9 September 2007) on the University Programme area of the OLPC Wiki, 3 are in the US, 1 is in Europe (Macedonia), and 2 are in Latin America (Columbia and Peru). This is the kind of thing you'd imagine that the British Computing Society, or the Information and Computer Sciences Subject Centre might promote in the UK.
Walter Bender writes in the 8/9/2007 OLPC News:
"University chapters: Olin College started a university chapter on Wednesday, and are drafting a model for other universities to follow. People from other universities are encouraged to help define the model."
