Novus I-Corps Program Fall 2024
Join us in an engaging workshop to learn how to think like a start-up and see if your research or innovation has the potential to effectively solve real-world problems. Our Novus I-Corps Program at Princeton University is a half-day introduction to I-Corps hosted by the NSF I-Corps Northeast Hub(Link opens in new window).
The Novus I-Corps Program at Princeton University provides an opportunity for individuals and teams with innovations or ideas to:
Shift the mindset from science and technology to the people who would benefit
Understand how Customer Discovery drives innovation (and gets you out of the building!).
Meet local leaders in NSF I-Corps and Princeton University's Office of Innovation to guide your journey.
Learn tips for success from an I-Corps Alumni Panel sharing their experience.
Network with innovation-minded individuals to help form teams or guide your next steps.
Who Should Attend: (Individuals and teams from any campus are invited)
Princeton University faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, undergraduates, and alumni who are developing a scientific discovery or technical innovation. Local academic researchers from nearby institutions are welcome to attend.
Individuals, including community innovators & local entrepreneurs, who want to learn how innovation happens at the Rutgers University and potentially join a team.
Student Organization / Program Leaders who want to learn more about how I-Corps can benefit their members.
Potential Mentors looking to get involved in supporting Rutgers startups.
Benefits:
TRAINING: Three-hour training introducing the I-Corps Lean LaunchPad approach to evaluating technologies through customer-discovery research, focused on identifying the technology’s potential for development in a startup or other venture.
NETWORKING: Build relationships with local I-Corps program leaders to get guidance and support. Individuals can form teams to be eligible to apply for the Regional I-Corps program.
PREPARATION: Attendees will be prepared to begin a journey of Customer Discovery with their own team or with a team they newly created.
