Industrial Affiliates Program

The Department of Computer Science continues to work with regional and national companies in a number of research and educational areas. The Industrial Affiliates Program (IAP) was developed to provide a mechanism for organizations to collaborate with the Department. IAP members are able to interact with faculty on research topics of mutual interest, to keep abreast of current research through research reviews and technical publications, and to gain access to our high-quality student base.

In addition to the Industrial Affiliates Program, other areas for support include equipment and software donations, student fellowships, sponsored research projects with individual faculty and research labs, and unrestricted research grants. For more information on the Industrial Affiliates Program and other areas for support and collaboration with the Department, contact Jean Joyce at 413-545-6310.
