Nebraska faculty, staff and students are invited to join a fall semester program to learn strategies about connecting research innovation with market applications.
The program begins Sept. 8, and participants may sign up individually or in teams of up to five people by Sept. 3. Interested individuals can find more information and sign up here.
The free, non-credit program is based on the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps, which helps researchers develop a value proposition and customer segmentation. After identifying and interviewing prospective customers, researchers use feedback to guide decisions about a startup company or technology commercialization.
The program features four evening sessions, held via Zoom or potentially a hybrid model, led by a team of campus instructors and an NSF National I-Corps instructor. It also includes office hours with instructors between sessions.
Space in the program is limited. Applications will be reviewed and successful applicants will be notified of their acceptance into the program a few days in advance.
Sponsoring organizations include NUtech Ventures, Invest Nebraska, the Combine Incubator and the National Strategic Research Institute.
