Working With Industry 101

Click here to register for the next workshop series starting October 22, 2020.

In association with participation in this 100% virtual short course series, IREO is offering a limited number of stipends of $3,000 to support efforts to develop private sector collaboration. To be eligible for the funding the faculty-trainee team must attend all online sessions; funds are somewhat flexible, due to the general inability to travel at this time but usage must be approved by IREO prior to disbursement.

This 4-part course will take place via Zoom from 3:00-5:00pm on October 22 & 29 and November 5 & 12. We strongly encourage faculty to bring a senior graduate student or postdoctoral trainee for joint participation; this is a key element of strong industry partnerships. Course descriptions follow:

Class 1: Introduction to Working with Industry & Promotion of Your Research Expertise

Class 2: Finding the Right Partner & Specific Contacts

Class 3: Process, Proposal, Timelines & Statements of Work: Getting to the Project

Class 4: Contracting & Best Practices for Managing Outputs

Space is limited so reserve your spot now! Email innovation@wsu.edu with any questions, or please use the link at the top of the page to register. Please also list the name of the trainee who will join you; your trainee may also complete the form on your behalf.
