Survey the Community for Quick Input
Have a timely question that would benefit from perspectives across the UIDP community?
UIDP will send out One-Minute Surveys on behalf of members. These are brief, non-scientific surveys designed to gather quick input on topics relevant to university-industry collaboration. Results are shared with respondents and may also be featured in the UIDP Resource Center. Email us at info@uidp.net if you are interested in sending out a survey.

Highlight Your Opportunity at a UIDP Event
UIDP events give members opportunities to talk directly with peers about programs, initiatives, challenges, and collaboration needs.
One way to do this is through Lunch Table Topics, where members can lead or join informal conversations around a specific opportunity or area of interest. This can be a useful way to:
- Share a new program, initiative, or open opportunity
- Find potential collaborators or partners
- Gather feedback from university and industry peers
- Raise awareness of an RFP, research need, or emerging area of work
- Start conversations with others who share a similar interest
If you have something you’d like to put in front of the UIDP community, we can help identify an upcoming event and participation format that fits your goals.
