Academic, business, and government leaders are developing fresh research strategies to promote innovation and discovery.  Their shared goal, building off strong historical precedents, is to achieve the twin-win of breakthrough research and societal benefits. Fundamental research carefully linked to real-world problem contexts appears to produce stronger theories and more societally valuable results. The term Highly Integrative Basic and Responsive (HIBAR) Research conveys these ambitious aspirations.

Please join GUIRR for a webinar with Dan Sarewitz of Arizona State University and Ben Schneiderman of the University of Maryland to consider strategies to more reliably produce HIBAR research: (1) Partnerships with business and government (cities, counties, state, federal), as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and (2) Policy changes to campus hiring/tenure/promotion rules so as to support teamwork and problem orientation that includes off-campus partnerships and on-campus collaborations.

There is no cost to this webinar, but registration is required. A confirmation email will be issued prior to the event containing the webinar URL.
