The Computing Research Association’s Industry (CRA-I) Committee invites you to its upcoming “Research in a Box” virtual roundtable on Wednesday, April 30, from 12:00–1:30 pm ET.
Moderated by Andrea Gibbs (CEO of Gibbs Corporation and former Intel executive), this engaging session will feature insights from Jaime Teevan (Microsoft) and Claire Vishik (Stealth Startup) on how industrial organizations — regardless of size — can successfully establish and sustain computing research programs.
This interactive forum will foster open discussion and knowledge-sharing among industry leaders, university researchers, and government lab representatives. Participants will gain actionable strategies for navigating research collaborations and overcoming common roadblocks in industry-academia-government partnerships.
Key Discussion Topics:
- Building impactful research collaborations across industry, academia, and government.
- Navigating intellectual property and legal considerations when engaging in research partnerships.
- Aligning stakeholder interests and expectations to create long-term research impact.
- Overcoming common challenges faced by organizations developing research initiatives.
This roundtable will also shape the development of a “Research in a Box” whitepaper, providing a valuable resource for companies looking to launch or grow their research efforts.
