Mission
Research in informatics moves rapidly. What was theory can become application within a year or two. The faculty teaching in the School of Informatics are involved in advancing these technologies. On the cutting edge of research, the faculty transmits state-of-the-art knowledge to their students. Indiana University is capitalizing on its great research strengths in informatics by the formation of an Informatics Research Institute (IRI).
The Informatics Research Institute conducts research in areas of emphases shared with the School of Informatics, including fundamental research in human computer interaction; fundamental research in capturing, managing, analyzing, and explaining information and in making it available for its myriad of uses; expanding research into policy and socioeconomic issues arising from information technology and informatics applied to various subject areas such as Health, Biology, Chemistry, and Fine Arts.
