Information Technology at Purdue

Collaborative Research & Engagement

ITaP is transforming campus research computing support from a general-purpose computing center into an organization that partners with research groups by applying computing expertise. High-performance and data-intensive computing resources have been expanded, the campus infrastructure is being upgraded, collaboration is facilitated by an Access Grid note, the Envision Center and the Purdue Terrestrial Observatory.

Collaboration is a core value in ITaP’s strategic plan, and the programs of the Collaborative Research and Engagement area of ITaP are manifestations of this core value.
