<h2> University-Industry collaboration<br /> </h2>
<p>Florida Tech has a lot of collaboration with Harris Corporation(<a href="http://harris.com/">http://harris.com/</a>) The main collaboration between Harris and the University is the Harris Institute for Assured Information(<a href="http://harris-institute.fit.edu/">http://harris-institute.fit.edu/</a>) The Harris Institute for Assured Information is an interdisciplinary center that focuses on high-risk disruptive work aimed at helping us trust the information that we so often rely on. Founded in 2009 by a grant from Harris Corporation, the Harris Institute brings together computer science, psychology, business and biology to carry out cutting-edge research in computer security. Our goal is lofty: to change the way we think about the information that flows around us, and to help drive a fundamental shift in how we protect it.
