Specific components of iCSE to enhance visibility, momentum, interdisciplinary coordination, and develop a strong sense of community include:
- iCSE website (news, a record of achievements, colloquium and seminar schedule, personnel directory, and a survey of active research areas)
- iCSE distinguished colloquium; invited speakers will be able to meet iCSE faculty across at least two departments; 2-3 speakers per semester, nominated by any iCSE faculty and selected by an interdisciplinary committee
- iCSE grand challenge symposium; annual one-day symposium focusing on a different grand challenge problem each year
- social gathering once per semester
- coordination and support for funding opportunities involving 2+ iCSE faculty (special incentives for cross-departmental groups)
- coordination and incentives for joint postdoc positions (co-supervised by two iCSE faculty from different departments, for new collaborations)
- working groups on interdisciplinary challenge problems as they emerge, e.g.:
- computational health
- computational climate
- computational design, uncertainty, and decision-making
- computational biology
- computational materials
