Not Sponsored Research and Not Philanthropy: the Corporate Affiliates Program

Monday, October 21, 2024, 1 - 2 p.m. ET

Moderator:

  • Joseph HuangExecutive Director of Strategic Research Initiatives, Stanford Computer Science

Panelists:

  • Will Dyer, Director, Corporate Affiliates Program, University of California, San Diego, Jacobs School of Engineering
  • Lori GloverManaging Director, MIT
  • Jason LinManaging Director, Stanford
  • Cody NogheraChief Corporate Relations Officer, University of California, San Diego, Jacobs School of Engineering

At many universities there are tensions between the type of money that faculty want to receive the most for their research (unrestricted gifts) and what companies and universities want to give (typically corporate sponsored research). There is another broad bucket of funding mechanism called "other" or "consortium" or "corporate affiliate programs".

Join us as we discuss the corporate affiliate programs model from Stanford University, University of California San Diego, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
