One idea that came about was how about setting up a fund to enable university research projects on Bitcoin. If we get about 5 projects funded in well known universities across the world, that could be really good PR for Bitcoin plus its good for the universities. Couple of years back (2011), a guy was asking for 2000 Bitcoins for his research, now that would be more like 200 or less.

We'd have to fund it via Bitcoin foundation or something for this to look good. I'm thinking about BTC2500 for 5 projects.

Would you be interested?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
