AURP’s Community of Practice Webinar Speakers Join AURP for our discussion on the ongoing investment in real estate, particularly in R&D real estate, despite recent news suggesting otherwise. Highlights include that while past government investment in university-based R&D has remained stagnant, private investment has been steadily increasing. The discussion will touch upon various funding opportunities, such as the CHIPs plus Science Act and NSF Engines, which are contributing to the growth of translational spaces. The AURP panelists will explore strategies and perspectives on how university-anchored research enterprises are shaping trends within the real estate market. They will emphasize the diversity among research parks, reflecting the AURP motto that each research park is unique. Through case studies, these executives will demonstrate how the strength of these ecosystems fosters innovation within university-anchored R&D communities, thereby safeguarding them from fluctuations in real estate availability and occupancy. |
