Research Parks 201
RP 201
Schedule of Events |
This agenda is preliminary and subject to change.
Wednesday, October 21st from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Have you been involved in research parks for a long time?
The rules have changed and now is the time to address the challenges and opportunities that confront us all.
We invite senior park leaders, builders, architects and consultants to join past and present AURP Board members to discuss substantial federal R&D challenges and company growth issues, financial infrastructure, globalization, national agendas and educational opportunities. We'll also discuss the essential features of the strategic plan for AURP. The session will include case studies from biotech, energy, university and federal labs. Leaders will facilitate this highly intensive, interactive discussion.
This year's Research Parks 201 session will be a combination of Roundtable Discussion and speaker led forums.
