Clemson University Research Foundation

Class 3 of the NSF I-Corps Summer Session is complete!

10 teams are now advancing through customer discovery, exploring market needs, gathering feedback, and learning how to move their technologies toward real-world impact. The discussions throughout the program are proving beneficial as teams test their assumptions, better understand potential customers, and gain insight into how their innovations can address real market needs.

Congratulations to the participating teams as they prepare for graduation on June 30!

Fall Cohort details coming soon.

Meet the Mind highlights the researchers behind Clemson innovation. Each feature introduces a translating discovery into real-world impact.

This week: Dr. Carlos D. Garcia, Professor of Chemistry, whose research group combines sensors, materials, and machine learning tools to create efficient and accessible analytical solutions.

What is an invention disclosure?

An invention disclosure is the first step in protecting your innovation at Clemson. Through CURF, Clemson creators can confidentially share new inventions, discoveries, software, processes, and technologies so the path toward protection and commercialization can begin!

Yesterday we launched the 4th Regional Cohort of NSF I-Corps at Clemson University! Eleven teams are beginning the customer discovery process, working to validate ideas and uncover real market needs. We’re proud to see four teams continue their journey from the NSF STRIDE ART Academy. Looking forward to the innovation and insights this cohort will bring!

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
