By the numbers

iCampus is a $25 million alliance between Microsoft Research and MIT to enhance university education through information technology.

In the first six years of operation, iCampus has funded 28 faculty-run and 27 student-run research projects.

iCampus has had widespread impact at MIT:

• Over 500 MIT researchers, including more than 30% of MIT's engineering faculty and instructors have worked on iCampus research projects
• Nearly 150 courses at MIT have been involved in iCampus projects, affecting more than 75% of the student body
• iCampus projects have affected nearly 150 undergraduate and graduate subjects with a combined enrollment of over 7,500 students
• About 400 faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students—10% of all MIT faculty and over 20% of School of Engineering faculty—have worked on an iCampus project
• Almost 40 Masters and Ph.D. theses based on iCampus research have been published

Beyond MIT, about 30 other universities and 13 companies have been involved in collaboration resulting from iCampus projects and MIT researchers have interacted with a dozen Microsoft product groups

As of March 2006, there have been 70 published papers and 300 public presentations about iCampus research, several conference keynotes around iCampus, and enormous interest in our alliances internationally

Nearly 90 articles about iCampus projects have been printed in newspapers and magazines, with an additional 25 or more having appeared in online-only web publications.
