Are you interested in joining the Advanced Materials Industrial Consortium? 

Companies joining the consortium:

  • Influence research directions
  • Identify potential future employees through early contact with students
  • Receive reduced rates at selected supporting facilities

And receive:

  • Information on related research
  • Stimulating research opportunities with in-house staff
  • Assistance in licensing of UWAMIC patents

In addition, member companies can participate in the following:

Industrial Fellows Program 

Companies with consortium membership may send one Fellow per year as part of their membership fees. While in residence at the university, an industrial employee works closely with faculty and students to complete a research project. If desired, the results may be reported at the annual meeting.
Annual Meetings 
At these meetings, each research program gives formal oral presentations on its work during the past year. A poster session and reception and dinner offers the opportunity for informal interactions and discussions about on-going or potential new projects. The meeting may also include special topic workshops.
Industrial Advisory Board 
The Industrial Advisory Board meets during the annual meetings and may meet at other times at the request of the UWMAIC directors. Company representatives give feedback on research emphases, project choices, and long-term directions as well as the effectiveness of the consortium and its management.
Special Project Research 

Industrial Partners may fund directed research and negotiate for licensing the intellectual property. Please contact one of the co-directors for further details.

To join, or if you have additional questions, please contact:

Felix Lu, Director of MRSEC shared facilities        Phone: (608) 262-6099

or

Erin Gill, MRSEC Administrative Director                Phone: (608) 263-0612




Are you a company looking for a single point of contact  to initiate administrative issues? Try the Office of Corporate Relations.

For a single point of contact for materials related issues, please contact us at the UW-AMIC!

 

UW Advanced Materials Industrial Consortium      Annual Meeting 

Please join us for the 2014 annual Advanced Materials Industrial Consortium meeting. There will be opportunities for student-industrial
"speed-networking", research highlights relevant to industrial product development, UWAMIC member company highlights, and refreshments throughout the day, along with a facilities open house showing the capabilities of the Atom probe and Focused Ion Beam (FIB) sample preparation for this instrument!

Also -- Does your company have an international counterpart? Do your products/services have an international market? OR, are you a student/postdoc interested in international internship opportunities? If so, please visit Michelle at the International Internship Program (IIP) booth during the poster session.
