Industry Partners

Industrial Affiliate Program Membership

CMDITR’s Industrial Affiliates Program (IAP) was created to support the mutual needs of business, industry, and the Center in areas of optoelectronic materials, devices, and organic materials for optics and electronics. This is accomplished by providing appropriate mechanisms for technical information exchange and research collaboration involving investigators at the eight major research institutions that are participants in this Center.

We look forward to learning about current needs and technical challenges in industry and working with industry partners to address them. Thank you for your interest in the CMDITR Industrial Affiliates Program.

• Access to faculty expertise for problem solving, consultation and research collaboration.
• Access to students from the eight partner universities.
• Access to state-of-the-art facilities at each partner university.
