Industrial Support “I believe we are now entering the Renaissance phase of the Information Age, where creativity and ideas are the new currency, and invention is a primary virtue, where technology truly has the power to transform lives, not just businesses, where technology can help us solve fundamental problems.” Carly Fiorina, CEO, Hewlett Packard Corporation Founding Corporate Members of CITRIS
10
CITRIS Principles for Investigators and Sponsors Bottom-up Institute: portfolio of evolving multi-investigator, inter-disciplinary, and/or intercampus Collaborative Research Projects: Core and Affiliated Faculty affiliation through CITRIS CRPs Subsidized access to research infrastructure & opportunity “seed” funds Industrial sponsors, in consultation with Director, direct funding to specific projects Industrial sponsors retain relationships with faculty investigators and project teams Open intellectual property framework
11
CITRIS Benefits and Obligations Increasing the Pie Larger-Scale, Higher Impact Research Increasing the Competitive Edge Subsidized Access Space Resources Incentives for Research & Collaboration Better Public Relations Better Admin Support True Engagement Commitment to Teamwork Commitment to Excellence Acknowledging CITRIS Achieving the State Match
