Attention, Habrahabr: IBM opens free access to a large number of its resources

IBM has been publishing materials about its developments at Habrahabr for many years. We are glad that many articles are interesting to readers. Nevertheless, we also repeatedly saw the desire of our readers to start working with IBM services and resources free of charge. And today we are pleased to announce that now many users can get free access to most of the resources of the Academic hub, IBM Bluemix, IBM Watson cognitive technologies and the Internet of things.

This opportunity is given to teachers and students of universities, as well as researchers of academic institutions. We know that scientists are making the world a better place, so many Habrakhabr users can now work with us to achieve this worthy goal.

As always, it all starts with the registration. To simplify the registration process, we added a number of organizations to our database. If you are an employee or student of one of them, you can start working with our services and technologies very quickly.
