“How does my discipline contribute to global challenges such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals?”
University leaders
“How do I allocate resources for a newly created lab to achieve its short, medium, and long-term goals?”
“What benefits might I expect from increasing corporate research partnerships at my institution, and how do I identify the right businesses to collaborate with?”
Policy makers
“How do I assess and improve the connections between education, research, technology, and applications?”
“What does the local knowledge economy look like, and how do I leverage that landscape to transform my city into a leader in innovation?”
Other stakeholders
“How do I position my institution to have the greatest impact on society, both at home and globally?”
