Current collaboration exists between research groups and industry. These collaborations are primarily used to fund graduate students and do not promote innovation/entrepreneurship.
== Resources on Campus ==
While the majority of collaboration is used to fund graduate students. There are resources that help students branch out and make lasting connections
=== McBride Honors Program ===
The McBride Honors Program is very generous in funding scholarships that can be used to travel abroad and help pay for internship costs. They also provide an extensive list of available internships and programs. Due to the engineering focus on Mines' campus, most of the opportunities are focused in engineering and creating policy around it. But there are opportunities that allow for experiences that can be used to learn a great deal about how other places and cultures run their schooling systems and how people associate in general.
One such opportunity is the various programs offered by [http://ptpi.org/ People to People International]. These programs link people through the exchange of experiences and ideas.
