IPCRES is a partnership between Indiana University and the Lilly Endowment to develop a world-class research and development capability in Indiana in some of the fundamental technologies that will drive the 21st century information economy, and an initiative focused on developing the growth of the information economy in Indiana. The School of Informatics will be integral to the IPCRES Education Program. IPCRES distinguished scientists and senior researchers with faculty rank will usually be involved in instruction or supervision in some capacity, and it is anticipated that they often will have appointments or joint appointments with the School of Informatics. This may include normal university courses, seminars and colloquia. In some cases the instruction will take the form of tutorials and supervised internships associated with direct participation by students in the laboratories’ research. IPCRES will also provide graduate fellowships and research assistantships to promising students
