Keywords: Research, Entrepreneurship, graduate
Applied Research Day (ARD) returns to do you look for best free hidden object games the real spongebob atlantis game Northwestern University Technological Institute on February 19, 2009. Organized by McCormick, Weinberg, Kellogg, and Medill students from the entrepreneurial and innovation club InNUvation, the event will focus on the importance of translational research. More specifically, it seeks to combine the technical expertise of scientific researchers with the entrepreneurial knowledge of aspiring businessmen. For scientific researchers, this is a unique opportunity to learn to present to a non-technical audience and to consider the broader context of taking research beyond the lab bench. For business students, it provides an opportunity to collaborate with actual researchers to create novel business ventures.
Cash prizes will be awarded to outstanding poster presenters, and there will be opportunities to meet with venture capitalists. Further, this event provides an opportunity to create collaborations for the InNUvation Venture Challenge later in the spring, where substantial cash prizes provide funding to bring ideas to market. Please consider presenting posters at Applied Research Day. Research that has already been publicly disclosed is appropriate, as is new research.
