Why is Virginia Tech interested in collaborative research?
It is to the benefit of the university, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and society to assure that new discoveries are further developed and made available for the general good of the public in the best way possible. The university helps solve problems and share information through its research activities. The university strives to increase research while maintaining academic standards and furthering educational programs. Working with government and private enterprise, the university seeks to participate in research and development projects that combine fields of knowledge to address complex, real-world problems. In many cases, further development of early stage intellectual property and commercialization through the industrial sector may be the best way to achieve the desired outcome. • Go to top of page.
