5. Company C Company B Company A Company D Company E Company F The I/UCRC Model Companies pay a membership fee to join and share in the work products of the Center, the most significant is an applied research project for the company. The model also allows industries to interact with universities on pre-competitive research. University University University I/UCRC University Each I/UCRC has its own structure and collaboration mechanisms. The promise of an I/UCRC is based on synergy and leveraging.

6. Win-Win • For academia, an I/UCRC: • provides stable funding source for research • exposes the academic community to the “real world” • establishes a meaningful research focus -- industrially-relevant is fundamental • provides support for research and students • For industry, an I/UCRC: • provides an avenue to investigate a topic for which expertise does not exist • accomplishes research at a fraction of the cost • allows an industry to utilize the talents and resources of a university • is a vehicle for changing the university culture: multidisciplinary • provides an excellent recruiting tool for building the future of the company
