Informatics Research Institute

Research and theory in informatics move rapidly to application and development. The faculty who teach in the School of Informatics and Computing participate in research activities and new applications of technology. As a result, faculty can transmit state-of-the-art knowledge to their students. Indiana University is capitalizing on this great research strength in informatics at both IUB and IUPUI with the formation of the Informatics Research Institute (IRI). The IRI conducts research in areas of emphases shared with the School of Informatics and Computing, including fundamental research in human-computer interaction; fundamental research in capturing, managing, analyzing, and explaining information and making it available for its myriad uses; and expanding research into policy and socioeconomic issues arising from information technology.
