Apply for campus innovator programs
Are you an innovator with a creative solution that has the potential for commercial and/or social impact? Come join a community of faculty, staff and students that see the Wisconsin Idea as an action plan that guides us to apply our work, research, creativity, ideas, and passion to impact lives locally and globally. D2P is now accepting applications for two spring semester programs, Innovation to Market and Igniter. Applications for both programs are due on January 27, 2020, and D2P will hold four open house events on January 13th, 17th, 21st, and 22nd to share more information and guidance for members of the campus community that want to learn more. Each open house session includes free pizza, an overview of the curriculum and application process, and time for questions and answers.
