A group of University of Florida faculty members are coming together to form the UF Space Mission Institute.

A space institute designed to expand exploration of the cosmos, a project to improve construction through robotic automation and AI, an initiative to propel the university to global prominence in sports performance, and an effort to improve agriculture and environmental sustainability are among four new initiatives receiving strategic funding at the University of Florida

A program for enhancing access to cancer screenings, a center for advancing cell and gene therapies, an AI-augmented learning platform for mathematics, and a digital humanities lab are among 10 new projects

Over the past year, UF has found itself in a period of transition, including a new president appointed in February, the search for a new provost beginning in the Spring, a new UF Honors Program director to be announced within the next month and searches for a new dean of the Levin College of Law and Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

The University of Florida is warning about what it called a “strong possibility” it might ban the popular social media app on university devices and WiFi networks. Officials at other Florida universities say they are considering similar action against TikTok, but none has officially followed UF’s lead yet.
