The purpose of the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP) is to enhance the value of collaborative partnerships between university and industry in the United States.

UIDP is an organization of universities and companies who seek to build a stronger relationship between these parties.  UIDP provides a forum for university and industry representatives to meet and discuss contracting and intellectual property policy, publication and technology transfer preferences, and other issues.  These conversations might otherwise never take place, and they serve to help university representatives better understand the culture and constraints of their industry counterparts, and vice versa.  This initiative is supported by the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR).  Learn more about UIDP

 

UIDP Testimonials “ Getting together with other people from industries, people from universities that have common interests in improving relationships for national competitiveness...that dialogue that is occurring is very, very valuable to us.  Primarily, to me personally, the value is in the networking, meeting people I had not known before, that have very similar jobs that I have and enhancing industry-university collaborations.”    - Jerry Duncan       Deere and Company Download the slideshow to read more testimonials
