Network
The NCIIA is a community of the leading thinkers in technology innovation and entrepreneurship in universities and colleges from around the country.
We connect faculty and students in large and small institutions:
- Research institutions with active technology transfer programs.
- Colleges exploring the teaching of applied innovation.
- Engineering schools and business schools committed to offering their students more creative, hands-on experiences.
Member benefits!
Students and faculty from member institutions are welcome to:
- Attend NCIIA-sponsored events, such as Open, our annual conference, for a reduced fee.
- Access free or reduced-fee services from our resource partners.
- Apply for NCIIA grants.
- Tap into a network of like-minded professionals to share ideas and educational strategies.
Annual membership dues are $300 for colleges and $500 for universities. Membership applies to an entire institution. For example, dues are $500 for University X, not $300 for the University X College of Engineering.
