Our initiatives target researchers across the career span who bring a range of backgrounds and perspectives to accelerate scientific breakthroughs. Training fellowships, open interest groups, and faculty membership provide avenues to join our community and celebrate the exchange of ideas.
Interest Groups
Researchers organize activities that drive intellectual discourse and seed collaborations across disciplines. From journal clubs to conferences, these groups activate integration across fields, develop the skills of members, and share ideas around emerging topics. Utilizing inclusive practices and led or supported by Wu Tsai Faculty Members, these activities advance the interdisciplinary research, training, and professional development of the Institute community. Learn more about WTI’s Interest Groups.
Grand Challenges in Cognition
Grand Challenges in Cognition catalyzes team science, answering big questions on the path to understanding cognition. Interdisciplinary research teams develop and execute ambitious projects too large and complex for any single lab. New Challenges launch annually, each designed collaboratively to drive discovery and impact. Learn more about the Institute's Grand Challenges.
Faculty Membership
