Leadership
Established in 2018 with support from Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), Academic Integration aims to accelerate discovery across the Cornell community by fostering collaborative interactions among research units and providing opportunities for faculty to work together and leverage their expertise across the Cornell Ithaca campus, WCM, and Cornell Tech campuses in New York City. Creating synergies among Cornell investigators also enables laboratories to transform individual projects into larger programs with increased impact and visibility. When these programs work optimally, the sum is truly greater than the component parts.
This website provides information for researchers to reach across our campuses to connect and develop innovative new projects and describes programs that decrease the barriers to such interactions. Interest and efforts to achieve intercampus collaborations are widespread at Cornell and are promoted by many other offices on campus. Accordingly, this website also aims to provide easy, direct links to many of these programs and initiatives. We are excited about the recent progress that has been made to bridge research activities across Cornell and hope that the entire community will find this website helpful as we continue to build One Cornell.
