The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research is a catalyst for economic and community transformation through strategic and commercial research, advanced learning programs, advanced networking and technology, commercial opportunity development and community outreach. Central to this goal of transformation is research and education. Five strategic research centers, ranging from motorsports engineering to unmanned systems and robotics, are located at the IALR. From these centers will grow academic programs in both the undergraduate and graduate arenas through the IALR’s academic partners, Virginia Tech, Averett University and Danville Community College.

“CIT was a valuable partner early on in helping us develop, invest in and grow our research clusters that have since fostered real economic development opportunities in the Southside of Virginia.”
– Timothy V. Franklin, Ph.D., Executive Director, IALR
