Dear Group:
Good meeting with many of you at ASME earlier this summer.
If anyone is in DC on Tuesday morning and would like to attend this event, please do so. . The National Academies is releasing its report on research parks on Sept. 22 at the Capitol Visitors Center, and Senator Pryor of Arkansas will be speaking as will I on behalf of AURP. [This was organized only late this week so apologize about the lack of advance word.] See attachments
Also noticed that the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation will be having a session on the morning of Oct. 7 in DC on enhancing role of universities in innovation in case you didn't see this.
Enhancing Universities’ Role in Innovation
October 07, 2009
American universities play an important role in spurring technological innovation, job creation and U.S. economic competitiveness. But they can do more, especially if the federal government makes a more concerted effort to help universities commercialize and transfer new technologies.
