AURP Committees/Teams

AURP's Committees are a primary and recognized vehicle for identifying the opportunities and challenges facing the university research park community. They bring together leaders from all levels to explore the many facets of the industry and help AURP make the best decisions that continue to move the association forward. We invite you to join this diverse and innovative group of professionals. Your contribution will make a difference to AURP and the university research park community.

Teams do their work primarily by email and conference calls. Opportunities to meet in person at AURP conferences are also provided.
