Objectives:

The Industry-Academia Collaboration in Advanced Manufacturing Workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is designed to encourage more fundamental collaborative research efforts between the academic manufacturing community and industry. A key concept is discussing research that aligns with the Manufacturing USA technology road maps by highlighting the challenges that are too fundamental in nature for the Institutes to support but which align with NSF core programs. We hope to have a diverse range of opinions present at the workshop. By participating in this workshop, you would have opportunities to:

  • Hear the research challenges facing different Manufacturing USA Institutes and industries
  • Hear strategies for building successful collaborations with industry and other academic fields
  • Meet and share your ideas with key people from selected Manufacturing USA Institutes and NSF program directors
  • Explore NSF funding programs and mechanisms
  • Network with researchers in complementary areas
