As the future of federal funding for research is called into question, it has become increasingly important for organizations to diversify the sources of funding for their research portfolios.
Join us on Thursday, May 15, for a live conversation on how academic institutions can better align their research with real-world industry needs. Kevin Leland, CEO and Founder of Halo, will share how the platform connects researchers with active R&D partnership opportunities from leading companies. Additionally, Mark Schubert, Associate Director of R&D at Sherwin-Williams, will offer insights into what makes a successful academic–industry partnership and share his experience collaborating with researchers through Halo. Finally, you will hear from Attain Partners’ Istvan Fekete about how Attain Partners can help you expedite facilitating these partnerships.
Whether you’re navigating shifting federal funding or looking to expand your institution’s corporate engagement strategy, this session will offer practical insights and examples to help you build stronger, more impactful collaborations.
