Innovation 360

CNSI at UCSB is forming the next cohort for Innovation 360, a workshop aimed at exposing researchers to the practical characteristics innovations require to be successfully commercialized or deployed outside of academia. More generally, this workshop will provide the tools to broadly engage the industry in your research.  

Each session will feature a discussion with subject-matter experts on an element related to technology translation. Participants will select an innovation or technology from their work as a case study, applying the principles learned in each session as the workshop progresses.  

The workshop will kick off on October 2, 2025. Please confirm your interest via this form by September 26th. Space is limited. As there is an active presentation/discussion component for each session, we ask that you commit to attending all of the workshop modules. Please see the attached flyer and syllabus for more information.
