Faculty and graduate students interested in commercializing research innovation are encouraged to join the National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps Fall Regional Cohort at Clemson.
Organized by the Clemson University Research Foundation (CURF) and the NSF I-Corps Southeast Hub, the NSF I-Corps Regional Cohort at Clemson is a seven-week course where research teams learn to expand the reach and impact of their innovations:
- Learn how to assess the commercial viability of innovations using the Lean LaunchPad methodology;
- Join a regional network advancing deep tech ventures and driving economic growth; and
- Gain insights into market needs to refine innovations through direct engagement.
Courses will be 8:30 a.m. to noon on Thursdays from Sept. 11 to Oct. 23. The deadline to apply is Sept. 5. Application details are available here.
“The Regional Cohorts are specifically designed to aid in the commercialization process for innovators, not only in our backyard, but also across the region,” said Chase Kasper, senior deputy director of CURF and marketing chair of the NSF I-Corps Southeast Hub. “We are excited to have participants from other institutions within the State of South Carolina, and we aim to expand the reach of the Southeast Hub to strengthen the state’s research enterprise, which will ultimately lead to positive economic impact.”
