Interdisciplinary Research Institutes

Georgia Tech’s Interdisciplinary Research Institutes (IRIs) allow College of Engineering researchers to collaborate with faculty and students across Tech to achieve goals that don’t fit cleanly into other administrative structures on campus. IRIs combine different sources of expertise, interests, and approaches to pose new research questions, respond to existing challenges, and advance technology to improve the human condition.
