Innovation Week 2022
The inaugural celebration of innovation and entrepreneurship at CWRU: Sept. 12-16
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.
"This inaugural year offers an opportunity for all of us to come together and learn more about the amazing research taking place here—as well as ways that we can help bring those breakthroughs out of the university to benefit others."
—Michael Oakes
Senior Vice President for Research and Technology Management
