Join ISEAI to shape pre-competitive research and workforce development at the intersection of AI and infrastructure security.
The Center for Infrastructure Security in the Era of AI brings together industry, government, and academia to advance research and talent development for infrastructure security in the era of AI.
ISEAI is a planned NSF IUCRC and, while not yet an official IUCRC, it operates based on the NSF IUCRC model for industry–university collaboration. Consistent with IUCRC best practices, membership program income is structured to prioritize research impact, with 90% of the membership fees supporting direct research costs, and only 10% covering indirect costs.
Membership Benefits
Membership provides:
- A structured role in shaping the Center’s research agenda
- Early visibility into research outcomes
- The opportunity to review proposed publications prior to public release
- Non-exclusive, royalty-free access to Center-developed intellectual property and software, as defined in the agreement
ISEAI supports publishable research while maintaining a collaborative model that balances academic dissemination with member engagement.
