Please join us for the Innovate Carolina Network Forum kickoff, the first event in our 2018 forum series that brings the most effective strategies and tactics to help you amplify and accelerate your ideas. During the kickoff, we’ll explore how Carolina’s uniquely connected I&E network has become a platform that students and faculty use to launch inventive ideas and solve big problems. Guided by the University’s strategic framework The Blueprint for Next, how will we build on success and scale innovation at Carolina to the next level? Join Chancellor Carol Folt to hear about Carolina’s role as an innovation leader and where we’re headed next. What key strategies and initiatives will the University pursue? How can we infuse the theory and practice of innovation into our everyday work? And what can we learn from innovation models adopted by other universities and private industry? Breakfast will be served.
