VALUES                                          

We value...

• Innovation for the public good; maximizing – to the greatest extent possible – the information and products that will ultimately be available to the public through collaborative private and public enterprise.
   
• Cooperative, multi-dimensional, long-term partnerships leading to accelerated collaborative efforts.
   
• The development of a deep understanding and respect of the diverse goals, missions, and cultures among our universities and companies, and appreciate the synergy that they can afford.
   
• Each partner’s depth of expertise and strive to provide an equal opportunity for voicing that perspective.
   
• An honest dialogue which is open to alternative and novel ideas, acknowledges differences, and manages conflict.
   
• A mutual commitment to shared scholarship and expertise, training and professional development.
   
• Strategic, result-oriented thinking and the development of practical, active demonstrations.
   
• The pursuit of efficiency and effectiveness, seeking to streamline transactions.
   
• A commitment to principled and transparent negotiations
   
• We recognize the value of university-industry collaborations and the lost opportunity when successful
  agreements cannot be reached.
