Attention SU Researchers – Plan Early for Publications and Presentations

Syracuse University researchers are encouraged to finalize invention disclosures as soon as possible, due to the lead time needed to analyze invention disclosures and pursue patent protection (if warranted). This is especially true for researchers that will present papers or posters at conferences during the Summer of 2025.  This is also true for researchers that are actively pursuing corporate collaborations.  It is important to identify, assess and protect any intellectual property that would be presented as part of a “pitch” meeting with a corporate entity.  To submit an invention disclosure go to the online invention disclosure portal.

 

NSF I-Corps Teams Q&A Webinar

The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program provides experiential education on entrepreneurship, customer discovery and business start-up concerns for researchers invested in moving their innovations from lab to market.

NSF program directors host a monthly webinar to answer questions and provide updated information about I-Corps contacts, the curriculum and important program and application dates.  The next webinar will be held: 

Date: May 1, 2025

Time: 12:00 Noon EST
