Mission
To conduct and disseminate ground breaking research on the impacts of Information Technology on enterprise and society.

Vision
To become a world class think tank focused on the most critical Information Technology issues confronting business and society.

CRITO's major activities include fostering academic research, student development, securing funding for research, and corporate outreach. We facilitate the conduct of research by creating a multi-disciplinary community of scholars from UCI and other universities. We advise faculty on securing extramural funding, provide grant management services, provide statistical and data management support, and offer work spaces for funded projects. We develop graduate students by offering them research opportunities on research projects. We work closely with companies who provide research direction and funding, act as field study sites, and validate our results. We host conferences and research seminars to present research findings.
