IBM has a strong tradition of research collaboration with our colleagues in academia. The goal of University Relations
Collaborative Research Initiative is to expedite these collaboration by diminishing barriers and reducing complexities
caused by the implications of intellectual property ownership.
How we are addressing current trends
Intellectual property trends indicate a need for different approaches and practices in information technology (IT) research
collaboration between universities and industry. To address these trends, IBM and the
Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation sponsored a University and Industry
Innovation Summit that was attended by leaders from IT companies, universities and government agencies, who continue to work
together.
The participants of this summit include: Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, The University
of Texas at Austin, Cisco, HP, IBM and Intel. Additional collaborators include the Kauffman Foundation, National Science
Foundation, the Office of U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman and the National Academies' Government University Industry Research
Roundtable (GUIRR).
Explore and learn
We invite you to explore this site and learn more about collaborative research principles and the results of the Summit team's work. We want to share what we have learned to help your own teams start your research as quickly as possible,
without unnecessary impediments. We welcome your participation as we continue to address barriers to university-industry
collaborative research.
