New facility for the National Institute for Research and Digital Transformation
Wichita State University is moving forward on a facility to house the National Institute for Research and Digital Transformation (NIRDT) as part of WSU's Convergence Sciences initiative. Research and partnerships created in the facility will be focused around
the convergence of faculty and students from many different WSU departments across
the university for the sole purpose of developing research in a broad range of economic
sectors, including the high-tech sectors, health sector, manufacturing, defense and
logistics while supporting the aviation and aerospace industries.
