Fall 2024 Collaboratorium Brings Together Science and Business Expertise

Connecting researchers with business expertise, the Fall 2024 Collaboratorium will feature teams participating in the Polsky I-Corps program in addition to startups from the Duality and Resurgence accelerators.

>> Register for the Collaboratorium: Wednesday, October 2, 2024 |5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

The Collaboratorium provides the opportunity for scientists and researchers who want to explore commercialization opportunities to showcase their work and network with students and alumni who may be interested in connecting to pursue further academic study, market research, a business partnership, or participation in experiential programming.
