On Thursday, October 11, 2012, Caroline Whitacre, vice president for research, will deliver the 2012 annual State of Research address. The event, which is open to the public, will take place at 8:30 a.m. in the Wexner Center Flim/Video Theater. Dr. Whitacre will also be presenting the Innovator of the Year Awards. A reception follows in the Mershon Hall lobby.
As Ohio State continues to expand its role in the commercialization of research, it is important that we create an environment that facilitates and rewards research creativity and entrepreneurship. To support and stimulate entrepreneurial activity among our researchers, three university-wide awards will be presented this year to reward our most successful entrepreneurs. One award will be given in each category: Innovator of the Year, Early Career Innovator of the Year, and Student Innovator of the Year.
