You Found Your Match: Now Fund It and Make It Work

Wednesday, October 16, 2013 | 11:30AM–12:20PM | Learning Theater Exhibit Hall C
Session Type: Professional Development
Hear feedback from principal investigators and campus partners on what it takes to keep IT pilot partnerships productive and harmonious. What do campus partners expect, and how can IT companies that partner with universities and institutions be sure to deliver on those expectations? Insights gained during the pilots of NGLC's initial 29 demonstration projects will give attendees a look at the real-world findings about what partners—on both sides—want and need to make pilot implementations successful. This session will also feature panelists from funded and funding organizations sharing the "true" metrics a pilot needs to consider and deliver on in order to attract capital and discussing where and how to find the money so critically needed to fund a campus IT pilot.
