Other university-industry collaborations

Many groups continue to work to address the complexities of university-industry collaboration and managing intellectual property. Some of these groups include:

University-Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP)
The purpose of the National Academies' University-Industry Demonstration Partnership is to nourish and expand collaborative partnerships between universities and industry in the United States. The UIDP is crafting collaborative experiments on new approaches to sponsored research, licensing arrangements, and the broader strategic elements of a healthy, long-term university-industry relationship.

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)
The American Society for Engineering Education is committed to furthering education in engineering and engineering technology. This mission is accomplished by promoting excellence in instruction, research, public service and practice; exercising worldwide leadership; fostering the technological education of society; and providing quality products and services to members.

Bay Area Science and Innovation Consortium (BASIC)
The Bay Area Science and Innovation Consortium develops innovative collaborative programs that take advantage of the unique capabilities of Bay Area R&D institutions to provide solutions addressing major national and regional challenges. BASIC teams advance, support and promote the Bay Area scientific and technological leadership by developing and implementing initiatives to achieve specific objectives. The BASIC Intellectual Property team works to achieve a shared understanding of the principles, practices and frameworks that will more effectively advance the IP interests of public and private research institutions, including universities, industry and national labs.

IBM's Global Innovation Outlook (GIO) 2.0
IBM assembled a worldwide community of 50 experts in the fields of law, academia, economics, government, technology and others. These experts collaborated with IBMers to discuss the issues, determine the key characteristics of a properly functioning IP marketplace, and establish a blueprint for meaningful change.

The result of the project is a collaboratively written manifesto that establishes the foundation for building a functioning marketplace for the creation, ownership, licensing and equitable exchange of intellectual property. To learn more, read Building a New IP Marketplace (PDF, 1.4 MB).
