Organization
IFI has been established with a steering committee consisting of center faculty and other involved faculty members, and an advisory board consisting of outside experts. Its structure ensures the organizational operations prioritize crossdisciplinary activities and outside collaborations. By strengthening the role of the steering committee through partnerships with relevant departments, IFI not only maintains a high staffing and other standards, but also has a stronger role to play as an interdisciplinary research facility.
