1xbet online casino Connections offers opportunity to build interdisciplinary collaborations, find resources and promote your work
K-State faculty, postdocs, graduate students and staff engaged in 1xbet online casino , scholarly, and creative activity and discovery are invited to participate in 1xbet online casino Connections. The event will be 3-5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, in the 1xbet online casino Alumni Center Banquet Room. Exhibitors will have a table and display space for posters, banners, signs, handouts, and some limited equipment or other items. Setup will be available starting at 1 p.m. Registration is available now.
The event is designed to give K-State researchers a venue in which they can learn what their colleagues are doing, promote their own work, and explore possible collaborations. Exhibitors and attendees alsowill have an opportunity to learn about K-State resources that are available to support 1xbet online casino , scholarly, and creative activity and discovery.
"We need to take time to talk to each other about the work we're doing,"said Peter Dorhout, vice president for 1xbet online casino ."We've seen about a 17 percent increase in the number of multidisciplinary 1xbet online casino awards in the past five fiscal years, plus a 28 percent increase in the number of first-time awardees. Our office wants to continue to support growth in those areas."
1xbet online casino Connections is a new approach to an ongoing series of events conceived by a group that came together in May 2013 to support K-State corporate engagement efforts. Representatives from the Office of the Vice President for 1xbet online casino , the K-State Institute for Commercialization, the Kansas State University Foundation and the Career Center created a Working With Industry Boot Camp and associated workshops to support faculty efforts to forge relationships with industry sponsors. The group sponsored 1xbet online casino Showcase events in spring 2015, 2016 and 2017. Feedback from those events has been positive, but some researchers expressed a need for an internal showcase to find out what others on campus are doing and to build interdisciplinary collaborations.
"It's difficult to keep track of what colleagues in your own department are doing — much less in other departments or colleges at K-State. Faculty members have told us they want to attend events that help them learn more about and connect with 1xbet online casino at our own institution," Dorhout said.
Supporting industry engagement also remains a priority. The working group will host another 1xbet online casino Showcase to help K-State faculty build or renew industry connections on May 16, 2018, at K-State Olathe.
Debbie Kirchhoff, executive director of strategic initiatives at K-State Olathe, said the working group plans to leverage the success of the 2017 1xbet online casino Showcase and expand the upcoming spring event.
"Our focus is on strategic outreach to companies and organizations that align well with the university's 1xbet online casino capabilities and may lead to cutting-edge collaborations," Kirchhoff said.
Dorhout said industry collaboration is an important piece of 1xbet online casino 's economic engagement strategy.
"We've made significant progress in industry-funded projects and in the number of master 1xbet online casino and service agreements. This helps researchers fund their work and helps ensure that K-State 1xbet online casino makes an impact in society," Dorhout said.
