A Networking Lunch will be provided, so please RSVP by Monday, April 5, 2023.

Learn about the impact your research or innovation could have in solving real-world problems by attending the Novus I-Corps Program at Rutgers-Newark, a half-day introduction to I-Corps, co-hosted by the Rutgers-Newark Research Office, Rutgers Newark-School of Graduate Studies, Rutgers Office for Research, and the NSF I-Corps Northeast Hub.

The Novus I-Corps Program at Rutgers-Newark provides an opportunity for individuals and teams with innovations to:

  • Shift the mindset from science and technology to the learning about the people it could benefit
  • Understand how Customer Discovery drives innovation (and gets you out of the building!)
  • Meet local I-Corps Program Leaders and leaders in Tech Transfer 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

    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.
    • FOLLOW-ON OPPORTUNITIES: Attendees can be fast-tracked to an upcoming 4-week regional I-Corps Program and have access to a $3,000 NSF grant to do Customer Discovery. Teams who complete 20+ interviews after Novus can become eligible to apply for the $50k National I-Corps Teams program.
