Proven engines for economic growth and development, university research parks influence their communities in significant ways. The Association of University Research Parks (AURP) 2015 International Conference in Buffalo, New York, hosted by the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, will feature experts who will examine university research park best practices and the strategies which will develop a knowledge-based economy by increasing ties between university research parks, government and industry partners. This year's theme is C3 – Connect, Collaborate, Create.

NEW TRACK ON INNOVATION DISTRICTS

With the exciting opportunity of showcasing the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus as a prime example of the emerging trend of Innovation Districts, the conference will feature joint plenary sessions—and a concurrent track specifically designed for attendees located in or interested in the creation of an Innovation District.

Interesting approaches and creative solutions to challenges surrounding university research parks regarding the conference theme of C3 – Connect, Collaborate, Create, as well as the new concurrent track of Innovation Districts, are sought for presentations.

Concurrent breakout sessions will be 60 minutes including all introductions and Q&A.
