Affiliate Program
The ICME Affiliate Program at Stanford University fosters collaboration between ICME and industry with mutual interests in computational and mathematical engineering. The program is designed to cultivate a premier educational setting for nurturing future talent while fostering collaborative research endeavors. The program emphasizes research and education at the crossroads of using cutting-edge mathematical and computational tools, statistics, data science, and computing, with the ultimate goal of tackling significant societal and technological issues.
Collaborations with ICME students and affiliated faculty span over multiple departments within the School of Engineering, Humanities & Sciences, School of Medicine, Doerr School of Sustainability and the Graduate School of Business plus associated organizations and labs.

Program Requirements
The program attracts a wide variety of organizations with interest in computational and mathematical engineering, in both commercial and non-commercial applications. All ICME Affiliate Program Members are subject to Stanford University Policies for Industrial Affiliates Programs.
Affiliate Program members may provide additional funding. All research results arising from the use of the additional funding will be shared with all program members and the general public. Affiliate Program members may request the additional funding be used to support a particular area of program research identified on the program’s website, or the program research of a named faculty member, as long as the faculty is identified on the program website as participating in the Affiliate Program. In either instance, the director of the Affiliate Program will determine how the additional funding will be used in the program’s research.
The site presentations and all information, data and results arising from such visitation interactions will be shared with all members and the public.
