Intel Science and Technology Centers (ISTCs) in the U.S. and Intel Collaborative Research Institutes (ICRIs) internationally are together Intel-funded, jointly-led research collaborations between Intel and the academic community. Anchored at leading universities across the globe, these collaborations form the foundations for building research communities that each focus on a specific technology area.
To ensure the broadest possible engagement of academic thought leaders, each research team includes the best and brightest from across academia.
