International WIC Institute

The International WIC Institute is a research organization of Web Intelligence Consortium(WIC). WIC is an international and non-profit organization. The Institute is affiliated with Beijing University of Technology (BJUT).

The main research topics at International WIC Institute is the fundamentals and their implementations on "Web Intelligence(WI) meets Brain Informatics(BI)", which is a big challenge for scientists in the 21st century. We propose that WI provides new, powerful technology support to BI, while BI focuses on principles, models and mechanism of Human Intelligence, all of which will lead to new methodologies, ideas for the development of WI Technology.

The International WIC Institute is an international, open educational research center. We provides Master, Ph.D education on Artifitial Intelligence, and Postdoctoral Fellow position in Beijing University of Technology.
