International Research Academy

The International Research Academy is a Purdue College of Agriculture program conducted by the office of International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA). The primary objective of the program is to support faculty members who have an interest in conducting international research, but who have limited prior experience with international activities. The goal is to promote greater understanding of international opportunities, expand campus and off-campus networks, and strengthen the college’s current and future capacity to conduct impactful international research.
