A shifting landscape of federal research funding and declining corporate research and development budgets make university and industry partnerships highly attractive for both sides, but opposing values and interests can make such partnerships tricky to manage.
Seven sessions will cover the most critical considerations for creating win-win relationships.
All sessions are 12:00 noon to 1:15 p.m. No RSVP is necessary, but space is limited. Feel free to bring your lunch.
