2nd Annual Ignite Research Fellowship Competition invites 12 teams for “Shark Tank” style live competition on February 28, 2019, beginning at 1:45pm EST.
Come watch your colleagues swim with the sharks as they seek to advance innovative ideas in Clarkson’s key interdisciplinary research areas.
This competition will be emceed by Erin Draper ’03, MBA ’14, Managing Director of Clarkson Ignite, on Thursday, February 28, 2019 in the Student Center Multipurpose Rooms beginning at 1:45pm EST. In addition to Clarkson participants, we will also invite industry partners to pitch their real-world project ideas for faculty or student teams to initiate brainstorming, networking, discussions, and future proposal consideration. We invite you to come to cheer on your colleagues and get ready for the competition next year. There will be a reception in Bar 9 at 4pm and the winners will be announced at 4:30pm EST in the Student Center Multipurpose Rooms.
The following are the finalists that have been invited to pitch their collaborative proposals for a chance at receiving an Ignite Fellow.
