ArtIAMAS Seminar Series: The Innovation Corps
Dan Kunitz
Mid-Atlantic I-Corps Hub Director
Maryland Innovation Extension Director
University of Maryland
The I-Corps program is designed to foster, grow and nurture innovation ecosystems regionally and nationally. The University of Maryland is the lead institution of the NSF I-Corps Hub: Mid-Atlantic Region and a member of the larger National Innovation Network. I-Corps was launched by the National Science Foundation and under the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (AICA) has spread to every federal agency that funds R&D. The program provides real world training on how to incorporate innovations into commercially viable companies to solve societal problems. ArtIAMAS researchers that adopt I-Corps principles into their research projects from an early stage will be able to adapt their work to better suit the needs of the defense industry, as well as future applications in the public market. This seminar will include discussion among ArtIAMAS researchers who have participated in I-Corps, presenting how the program influenced their research and their projects.
