The work of the labs is coordinated

The work of the labs is coordinated through Intel’s Research Council, which includes members of Intel’s executive staff, Intel’s Research Fellows, and representatives from each research area of the company.11 The council also manages Intel’s external research program, establishing
overall policies concerning external research, such as which projects to support and which schools and faculty to support. In 2000, Intel funded about three hundred external research projects, resulting in more than $100 million in research grants. This external effort has become increasingly international in its scope. In addition to its U.S. research activities, Intel has its own researchers working in Israel, Russia, and China, and had research projects with university faculty under way
in eleven different countries.
