Project Information

Purpose

The project team involved in this collaborative effort between the University of Rhode Island and Infused Innovations believes that university resources are valuable, but easy to miss out on. We are curating a database of available resources on campus and making them accessible through a chatbot that helps students and faculty leverage available resources to meet their innovation/research goals.
