Knowledge Transfer Mission Statement: Develop effective mechanisms and pathways to facilitate intellectual exchange, form productive partnerships, instill a strong culture of commercialization including entrepreneurship, and reduce the time-to-first-use for the Center technologies and ideas.
The Center is facilitating internships for our students and postdoctoral fellows with our industrial partners to broaden their training as the next generation of scientists and engineers. The Center also plans to host scientists from industrial and national laboratories to expand our community and facilitate exchange of ideas. The Center will hold an industry and venture capital panel during the Center's Annual Meeting on September 26-27, 2014 to focus on industry challenges and possible areas of collaboration and application with industry and investors. CIQM researchers will organize Harvard i-Lab networking events and disseminate i-Lab videos about general entrepreneurship topics to all Center participants and through the CIQM website. The Center will work closely with members of their university technology development offices to identify potential intellectual property and licensors for that intellectual property. These activities will significantly strengthen the impact of the Center’s programs.
The Museum of Science, Boston and the Nanoscale Informal Science Education (NISE) Network provide an excellent route for new ideas and discoveries from the lab to public audiences. For this Center they will focus on the quest for quantum electronics. The new Harvard Innovation Lab will show students and faculty members how to commercialize scientific discoveries by providing short courses on business techniques and personal contact with experienced local businessmen and entrepreneurs.
The Center will collaborate with BASF Corporation on graphene, and with Element Six Ltd and Epitaxial Technologies on diamond growth. Guidance on Center programs will be provided by an outstanding External Advisory Committee including members from IBM, Intel, Northwestern, UC Santa Barbara, Univ of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and Ludwig Maxmilians Universität in Germany.
