Companies joining the Partnership not only:
Companies with IPrime Sponsor membership may send one Fellow per year as part of their membership fees. Affiliate companies may also send Fellows for an additional fee. While in residence at the University, a designated employee works closely with IPrime researchers on a pre-defined research project of mutual interest. Annual reviews of the Partnership's research take place in the spring. At these meetings each research program gives formal oral presentations on its work during the past year. A poster session and reception offers the opportunity for informal interactions and discussions about on-going projects. The four-day meeting also includes master classes and special topic workshops. Advisory Committees meet during the Annual Meetings. Company representatives give feedback on research emphases, project choices, and long-term directions as well as the effectiveness of the Partnership and its management. Workshops and short courses are scheduled throughout the year. Recent topics included workshops on photonics and misting in forward roll coating as well as short courses on rheological measurements and coating process fundamentals.
Special Project Research
Industrial Partners may fund directed (possibly proprietary) research and obtain
sole ownership of resulting Intellectual Property. Please contact Bob
