Beyond the Forum: Research Collaboration
IPP Supporter
Engage in deeper 12-month collaboration that support a feasibility study or medium-scale research project.

Annual effort is expected to be $100k+ and can be funded by a single or multiple companies.
Advanced Technology Lab
SDSC maintains an Advanced Technology Lab where the latest computing and storage technology, hardware, and software can be evaluated, tested, and benchmarked in realistic scenarios. Companies may participate in the Advanced Technology Lab through in-kind (hardware/software) donations or loans, gifts or service agreements for evaluation projects, and/or joint collaborations with SDSC researchers.”
Engagement Process
When engaging with the university to collaborate on a research project or services the following agreements will be used.
-
- UCSD Service Agreement Example: Basic contract for services rendered to customer at an agreed upon rate..
- UCSD Sponsored Research Agreement Example: Engagement with customer on a specified research project. IP rights can be included. Further details can be found through the Innovation Zones Program, a new innovative process for UC San Diego developed technology.
- UC San Diego Innovation Zones Program: A simplified approach to licensing of IP and the agreement process.
