The Engineering Innovation Institute has established a Faculty Innovation Council to work with the Institute leadership to increase faculty conversation and competency in entrepreneurship and innovation. Specifically, the Faculty Innovation Council is established to:
- Discuss UF, state and national rules, regulations, and processes relevant to faculty and students who wish to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors and how to optimize the process
- Bring entrepreneurial faculty thought leaders together to discuss key issues (SBIR/STTR, academic IP development, Conflict of Interest, innovation in inter-disciplinary research, global entrepreneurship and innovation trends and drivers, etc.)
- Discuss how to properly evaluate and reward entrepreneurial activity in the course of faculty advancement (e.g. annual performance evaluations, tenure, promotion, etc.)
- Provide peer mentoring and guidance to get faculty to think and act entrepreneurially
- Act as a sounding board for new innovation initiatives
- Lead seminars and provide one-on-one guidance to other faculty on innovation topics
The Institute gratefully acknowledges the contributions of our Council Members
