The Ohio State University offers premier servives to its students, particular with regards to innovation in research settings. This is made possible by organizations like the Undergraduate Research Office, OSU Undergraudate Fellowship Office, as well as highly supportive student organizations like the Business Builder's Club and Undergraduate Student Government. However, due to the inherently large nature of the university, targeted and precise attention to student innovation is sometimes difficult, and dissuades some of the most passionate and capable students from pursuing long-term innovations. In an effort to remedy such perception, and launch initatives to extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State to advise upon, incubate and accelrate student generated ideas, the following Student Priorities Map has been created.

The first area of focus, or ‘strategy,’ is based off of the Realized section of the landscape canvas. The underlying theme by which this strategy is formed is the fact that there is no centralized institution for financial, advisory and basic technology services offered for student innovation incubation. As such, the tactics employed will seek to create innovation spaces modeled off of the nearby spaces which are off-campus, but include sponsorships and partnerships from the university.
