Memberships
The research and development efforts at UTARI rely largely on the strong partnerships we build with industry, government, and non-profit organizations, and other universities. The nature of these partnerships varies from groups we actively collaborate with, organizations who sponsor our research or who we have written joint grant proposals with and for, and those who communicate with us to evaluate new opportunities.
