The University of Tennessee embraces its land-grant mission and aims to connect every Tennessean with education innovations that align with 21st-century workforce needs,” said Lynne Parker, associate vice chancellor and director of the AI Tennessee Initiative.
The mission of aiEDU is to support students in becoming thriving workers, consumers, creators, and citizens in the age of AI.

UT Research: Making Life and Lives Better
|
ORIED provides resources that help faculty realize their individual research goals, while also bringing groups of faculty together to explore solutions to complex challenges—solutions that require the insights, methods, and tools of multidisciplinary teams.
The university has defined five multidisciplinary research initiatives that build upon the strengths of our faculty and are enriched or informed by assets, opportunities, and challenges in Tennessee and in the world around us: materials and manufacturing, artificial intelligence, global energy ecosystems, mobility, and human health and wellness.
In the coming months, Catalyst will explore the riches of UT’s research enterprise in greater detail, including our multidisciplinary research and cluster hire initiatives, along with the tools and strategies ORIED uses to forge connections between faculty within and across disciplines, to enhance the quality and amplify the impact that UT Research has on the world we share.
