Research Centers
IRIS
Founded in 2009, the IRIS Center at SIUE is an interdisciplinary facility designed to support individual and collaborative scholarship (at faculty and student levels) that applies digital content as a primary methodology.
The IRIS Center mission has aimed to facilitate cross-disciplinary and collaborative projects that involve innovative uses of technology in the humanities and social sciences and support these projects via access to physical facilities, equipment, and human resources. The Center works to foster active mentorship and collaboration between faculty and students at undergraduate and graduate levels, encourage the development of curricular innovation that makes significant use of digital applications and resources, and promote digital endeavors that intersect with community initiatives and organizations.
Center for Predictive Analytics (C-PAN)
The Center for Predictive Analytics (C-PAN) was founded in 2019 to support the growing need for Big Data and Machine Learning solutions on SIUE’s campus, as well as in the industrial and government sectors. The center tackles data-driven questions from all disciplines and sectors and strives to foster a real-world research and consulting environment that prepares students for the workforce.
The Center’s mission is to provide affordable and novel data solutions while training the next generation of data scientists and supporting the scholarly activity of the campus, as this will benefit the economic growth and development of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area and beyond.
SIUE University Museum
The SIUE University Museum is a repository and research center whose interdisciplinary collections include more than 32,000 two- and three-dimensional artifacts. Through hands-on opportunities for learning and research, exhibits, and programming, the University Museum provides an enriching experience for students, faculty, scholars and the public, connecting them to fine art, historical objects, natural history specimens and diverse cultural artifacts.
