= = Being first a graduate school and research university, CWRU very much encourages their faculty and graduate students to conduct research. Last year alone, more than 1,600 research projects were funded through CWRU and the school currently ranks amongst the top 20 research institutions. The majority of professors lead research laboratories and have many students working for them, graduate but also undergraduate. And research at CWRU covers all possible spectrums, from humanities, to social sciences, to all areas of STEM.

A big reason for this is that many labs partner with companies to sponsor reseach, and the solotions developed are the rights of said companies. Yet there are also labs and faculty who have no interest in pursuing the idea to turn it into a start up; who would prefer to keep developing new ideas and publishing papers.  = = Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function = The Technology Transfer Office... = Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration = Being located in North-Eastern Ohio, CWRU is centered in one of the best areas for University-Indutry collaboration... = Engagin With Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts = There are many local resources to promote development efforts... = Landscape Canvas = https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yVRxQOza5YR8oP-G2nm5qXkfrMKdqOjBhJq2uQzpfdI/edit?usp=sharing = Related Links = Case Western Reserve University Website ThinkBox Website = Written By = Calin Solomon [[Category:Universities]]
