UIDP is a recognized leader in addressing issues impacting academic-corporate collaboration, providing a unique forum for our member representatives to find better ways to partner. We are a solutions-oriented organization. Our member representatives identify issues impacting university-industry (U-I) relations and together, we find practical solutions to shared challenges impeding success, irrespective of who we are or where we work. Organizational decision makers in corporate/academic relations, research leadership and administration, and workforce/talent development actively participate in UIDP programs to maximize their investment in existing and future U-I collaborations.
