Advancing Public-Private Partnerships in Aerospace

The Joint Center for Aerospace Technology Innovation (JCATI) second annual research symposium.

Russ Maguire, President of Global Nanocomposites and former Technical Fellow with the Boeing Company, will offer insight into the history of the integration of composite materials into commercial aircraft and the role of public-private partnership in future technological advancements in aerospace. 

Research from the 16 currently supported JCATI awards, representing the areas of additive manufacturing, aerospace structures, biofuels, commercial flight, composites, controls, and space propulsion, will be presented in both oral and poster presentations. 

Panels, including members of leading aerospace companies and university representatives, will provide perspectives on the challenges of commercializing academic research and the benefits of including student researchers in university-industry collaborations.

Registration required: Free for students. $50 for all others.
