Industrial Partnerships Program

Building value collaborations between industry and the broad materials expertise of CCMR faculty is the key focus of the Industrial Partnerships Program. The Industrial Partnerships team assists, supports and facilitates relationships between industry and CCMR faculty ensuring lasting collaborations. With over 110 faculty members covering 12 different departments, mutually beneficial relationships with industry are accomplished through a variety of activities including joint research projects, problem-solving semester-long projects with matching funds from NYSTAR, symposia and short courses. Some of these programs are specifically designed to support NY State startups and small businesses. The CCMR also provides extensive assistance to companies looking to locate in New York State.
The Center will help to identify appropriate faculty for assistance with technical issues or with new technologies, and for collaboration, consultation, and/or contract research. The CCMR will host group or individual meetings between industry scientists and relevant academic faculty on-campus or off-campus. Faculty members and industry scientists are invited to discuss their research capabilities and technologies under a confidentiality agreement.

The mission of the CCMR’s Industrial Partnerships Program is to promote active cooperation between the CCMR and industry, to foster technology transfer, strengthen the links between university-based research and its application, and promote economic development.
