The Intel network of university research labs represents a bold new form of industry-university collaboration that reflects the special nature of information age technology. The mission of the network of labs is to conduct the highest quality research in emerging, important areas of Computer Science and Information Technology, by joining the unique strengths of universities and Intel in concurrent, collaborative efforts that are both broad in scope and deeply penetrating in exploration. 

The labs operate in a uniquely open fashion, promoting a powerful, bi-directional exchange of groundbreaking ideas, technology, and people. They play a leadership role in the creation of new research ecosystems spanning the continuum from academic study to product development. The activities of the individual labs are project-focused with an active, constantly evolving agenda that seeks to open new directions for research, education, and industry. Projects involve researchers from Intel and local universities as well as members of the more global research community.

There are currently three lablets in place and there are no plans to add additional lablets at this time.
