2025 Intellectual Property Seminar

Tuesday December 2, 2025 | 2pm-3pm @ CEED Auditorium

Come learn about intellectual property protection and commercialization from patent and business attorneys with the Kearney McWilliams & Davis law firm out of Houston Texas. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how new innovations developed through research activities are protected and commercialized. If you have promising research ideas or projects with yourself or from your students, this will be a great way to learn about what to do when you have something with commercial potential.

This seminar is open to all faculty, staff, and students — please share this widely.

Brought to you by the UTPB Office of Innovation & Commercialization and the UTPB NSF EPIIC ARISE team.

This year’s 50^th annual ASEE Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration (CIEC) will take place in the middle of the Historic French Quarter in New Orleans. Since 1976, this conference has served as a platform for workshops, technical sessions, training, and plenary keynote addresses and panels, highlighting the long-standing and mutually beneficial partnerships among education, industry, and government.

The Industry Academia Partnership (IAP) University of California, Berkeley Workshop on the Future of AI and Cloud Computing Applications and Infrastructure will be conducted on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. This will be the second IAP Workshop hosted by UC Berkeley. 

Southern Connecticut State University will host the Emerging Technologies Forum (ETF)—a conference that will bring together leaders from education and industry with university faculty, school teachers, students, and community stakeholders. The event will encompass the growing regional sectors of Quantum, Artificial Intelligence, and Life Sciences.

This year’s theme, “Experiential Education for a Connected World,” explores the critical role of hands-on learning in an increasingly interconnected global landscape. Through community-engaged/service learning, work-integrated learning, research, and other immersive experiences, the conference will highlight how experiential education bridges geographical and cultural divides. 

 

On May 13 and 14, 2025, Grand Valley State University’s Technology Commercialization Office will host an interactive, informative, and educational workshop on Establishing University-Industry Partnerships. This workshop—part of GVSU’s NSF EPIIC award—will focus on the Why, the What and the How of establishing valuable partnerships to advance faculty research and student engagement.
