Inaugural Research Pitch Competition
Three minutes. Three prizes. A world of connections to support your research and creativity.
Arts & Sciences is thrilled to host the inaugural Research Pitch Competition on April 21, 5:00-7:30 pm in collaboration with the Office of the Provost and the Skandalaris Center for Interdisciplinary Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
The pitch competition will be a dynamic event where tenured, tenure-track, and research-track faculty will make 3-minute lightning pitches on bold, creative ideas or projects in process or that you would like to develop, either individually or in teams. Attendees will vote, and at the end of the night three prizes will be awarded:
1st place: $1500
2nd place: $1250
3rd place: $1000
This fast-paced competition is a unique opportunity for faculty to:
- Translate research for a variety of audiences
- Generate enthusiasm across our school and university community about research impact and enterprising possibilities
- Build connections with potential collaborators, sponsors, and funders
- Enhance visibility of research
- Shape storytelling about your research endeavors
- Think big about interventions you hope to make, innovation you would like to explore, and impact that inspires
Pitch participants will have access to a pitch workshop through the Skandalaris Center in March.
