 | The Wright State University Information Technology Research Institute (ITRI) is a cooperative research and development organization involving partnerships between Wright State University and the Miami Valley’s industrial and governmental organizations (as well as other organizations in the State of Ohio) involved in the information technology field. |
The institute's goal is to conduct basic and applied research and to reduce the time for university research results to reach the marketplace. It is sponsored by the Ohio Board of Regents, the Ohio Department of Development, the Miami Valley Economics Development Coalition, the Greater Dayton IT Alliance, federal and local Government, private industry, and Wright State University. The Wright State University Information Technology Research Institute (ITRI) is a cooperative research and development organization involving partnerships between Wright State University and the Miami Valley’s industrial and governmental organizations (as well as other organizations in the State of Ohio) involved in the information technology field. ITRI includes research and development in a wide variety of Information Technology areas, and is multi-disciplinary in nature. The Institute initiates, stimulates, and actively pursues research and development initiatives and collaborative projects both within the university and with outside organizations. Major functions of the Institute include supporting basic and industrially significant research, and facilitating the technology transfer of research results. ITRI serves both as a gateway to University resources and as a vehicle to speed the introduction of leading edge technology to commercial and government use. Wright State University has recognized expertise in engineering, science, and other disciplines in which Information Technology offers vital assistance and promises new advances. ITRI has attracted many outstanding faculty and graduate student researchers from across the campus. Excellent physical resources and computing facilities, innovative programs, and strong interdisciplinary collaboration further support the operation of the Institute. The Institute combines traditional academic strengths in research and education with the University’s role as an economic development partner. Over the past 30 years Wright State has shown that campus and corporate sectors can effectively work together for their mutual benefit while enhancing the state's economic climate. WSU has a distinguished record of interaction with industry in Ohio plus a firm commitment to community service. ITRI plans to expand a natural and vigorous relationship with both large industrial firms and small high-tech companies in the state. ITRI is located within Wright State’s College of Engineering and Computer Science and associated with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and is housed in the Russ Engineering Center. We invite you to learn more about our specific programs, to visit the Institute in Dayton, and to consider becoming an ITRI partner. | |
