Release: UIDP Launches Global “Strengthen and Modernize U-I Partnerships” Initiative

Get Involved

This initiative requires effort, insights, and support from companies, universities, nonprofits, and governments (both at the national and regional levels) to inform action steps at every point. The process will be continuously informed by the voices of engaged stakeholders through facilitated, in-person sessions at strategic locations around the world, augmented by online events. There are myriad ways to support this effort – propose or participate in listening sessions, provide case studies from today’s most innovative partnerships, or invest in these activities. UIDP is committed to sharing these approaches through case studies and briefs across the course of the year through this public portal.

Please share your ideas for strengthening and modernizing U-I partnerships. We seek case studies and information about existing programs to share as we build a body of knowledge that can help strengthen and modernize U-I partnerships and ultimately improve the state of science and engineering.
