Connecting to Industry
Highlights:A story of two CMSE spin-off companies From basic research to the operating room Symposium highlights new research developments from the MIT MRSEC |
CMSE enjoys a number of extremely effective and well-established mechanisms for knowledge and technology transfer to industry. The many excellent CMSE supported graduate students and post-docs who leave MIT to work in industry represent an important vehicle for knowledge transfer. By emphasizing team-based, interdisciplinary research within our IRG groups, students and post-docs are trained in a mode that is critically important to meeting the complex, fast-moving challenges of industry.
CMSE works in concert with a number of MIT industrial programs and centers to facilitate the transfer of the fundamental knowledge generated within the program to industry. MIT's Materials Processing Center (MPC) and Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), for example, work cooperatively to connect industry to the research carried out within our MRSEC program.
