Innovation Week

Join Case Western Reserve University Sept. 12-16 for a celebration of the innovation and entrepreneurship that takes place across our campus daily.

Our faculty, staff and students have already proven their commitment to—and prowess in—innovation. So each day, experts will talk with you about different aspects of innovation at Case Western Reserve—and beyond—and provide insights on how you can be part of embracing this culture in all you do.

We'll share stories of success, and struggles along the way. We'll discuss the importance of innovation in academics, research and everyday life. And we'll give the ins and outs of everything from invention disclosure and patenting to collaborating with industry and applying for funding.
