Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Student innovation and entreprenuership at Case Western Reserve Univeristy (CWRU)....

Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Etreprenurship

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. 

However, though many of the research labs develop innovative ideas and solutions, many of which are patented, most labs do not seek to to further their project and pursue entrepernurual opportunities. 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.
