Our Mission
The Indiana Digital Crossroads is a Purdue System wide initiative which aims at advancing data science for all undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and the broader communities in Indiana through collaboration, learning, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The initiative is inclusive and involves many learning communities on PFW and WL campuses (see here) and several corporate partners. The Indiana Digital Crossroads is a project funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc. through the Grant "Indiana Digital Crossroads".
Interested faculty are welcome to submit a project proposal and join our team as core-faculty members. Students are welcome to join our Academic Learning Communities and work with core-faculty and data science experts on real-world problems!
