Industrial Affiliates programs are membership-based consortia that allow corporations and other private sector entities to affiliate with a research group or program at 果冻传媒麻豆社. The purpose of these programs is to ensure a robust flow of information and ideas between 果冻传媒麻豆社 and industry participants to ensure that U of I researchers are focused on important real-world issues and that U of I research has immediate application and impact.

U of I Industrial Affiliates programs provide:

• A formal relationship between industry and U of I faculty, students and researchers
• Access to ongoing research
• Access to U of I faculty, students and researchers
• A forum for interaction with U of I researchers and other industry participants
• Formal research reviews to be held at least annually
• A convening authority for important meetings and dialogs
• A mechanism to influence the directions of U of I’s research
• Support for specific programs and research areas at U of I

Industrial Affiliates programs do not:

• Substitute for contract research (contract research is a separate option for targeted research projects that require contract terms)
• Convey intellectual property to members (IP licenses or transfers can be negotiated separately whether or not interested parties are members of Industrial Affiliates programs)
• Charge university overhead (all funds, less the applicable university G&A fee, are applied to activities of the Industrial Affiliates program)
