INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT WSU
Innovation and Entrepreneurship at WSU Innovation = Invention + Implementation Innovation is the future delivered; it is the land grant mission Entrepreneurship = a way of thinking and acting Imagining new ways to solve problems WSU supports a culture of impact that embraces and integrates three fundamental academic values: student education, exploratory basic research, and the land grant mission. WSU will convert discoveries into new products, services, and creative works to improve people’s lives.
Growing Research at WSU 9/21/2018 Growing Research at WSU The Innovation Cycle Deep disciplinary expertise University research Translational pathways Connected expertise Societal need or pain Deep disciplinary expertise University research Engagement with solving specific problems in the marketplace and in society synergistically creates new research areas and ideas that will require additional further scholarship and discovery. The positive feedback of this virtuous cycle that connects basic and translational research should be celebrated and recognized as a pre-existing feature of WSU’s land grant mission. We grow and diversify research by supporting, enabling and connecting faculty and students to the non-academic world. Template-Primary on blk-shield
