The Value of Academic and Industry Research Partnerships

In this episode, we discuss the immense value of collaborations between academic researchers and the corporate world, and how to make those partnerships successful. We often hear from faculty who feel like industry is a distraction from their core research or is too complicated and different to navigate. But today, we want to show you why university-industry partnerships are critical engines for research and innovation. These aren't just transactions; they are strategic relationships that can elevate your research impact far beyond the university.Hosted by University of Minnesota Corporate Research Partnerships Managers Leza Besemann and Jason Stockman, "Bridging the Gap" is a practical podcast series designed to help university faculty navigate the complexities of collaborating with the private sector.
