Welcome to the Intel® Embedded and Communications University Program

The Intel® Embedded and Communications (formerly Intel® Internet Exchange Architecture) University Program was created in late 2000 as a partnership between Intel's Network Processor Division (NPD) and the Communications Committee, part of the Intel Research Organization. In late 2001, Intel's Academic Relations organization became a partner in this program, helping co-fund several labs in key focus schools around the U.S.

Two main goals were established for this program:

	To create a worldwide network of universities involved in research around Intel's Embedded IA family of processors and Intel® IA/IXA architecture in general.
	To create Intel® learning laboratories in the best engineering universities around the world in order to give Computer Science and Electrical/Electronics Engineering students the opportunity to interact and learn how to program Intel's family of IA processors.

To date, the program has funded close to 100 universities in six continents around the world. The pages in this website list all of the schools in the program and also provide links to published papers and open source software posted by this academic community. You will also find links to other Intel® Embedded and Communications resources and information on people and events.
