Design LAB

Corporate sponsor

Sponsorship will provide a unique opportunity for firms to have access to the Lab for conducting research in a neutral environment in an inexpensive way. It offers a vehicle for firms to bring their business challenges and issues to the Lab and see the possible solutions that researchers have to offer.

An option for a corporate sponsor is a lab membership that would link the firm with other like-minded sponsors and Lab faculty & students and research staff with a common agenda. These lab members will have access to all of the research conducted at the Lab, visiting privileges, invitations to events, and full intellectual property rights.

• Access to all of the research conducted at the Lab;
• Lab-wide visiting privileges;
• Customized firm day at the Lab with a strategic brainstorming session or roundtable discussion;
• Invitation to member events (twice a year);
• Invitation to Lab-wide lectures and special events;
• Non-exclusive, license-fee-free, royalty-free licensing rights for IP;
• Sponsor student apprentice-associate-fellow program in Lab;
• Student recruitment;
• Access to all Lab publications and password-protected sponsor Web site; and
• Sponsor employee-in-residence at the Lab.
