Program Description

As federal research funding for science is in question and indirect cost recovery rates are being cut, U.S. leadership in science research will be challenged unless new models for university-industry-government partnerships are developed. This webinar panel of leaders will explore the opportunities to re-think the university-industry partnership models from the last 50 years, as a way of sustaining American leadership in science and promoting the success of our research institutions.
