 Insights into Research Parks (I2RP) is designed for those interested in viewing these distinctive parks, learning their unique story of ongoing development and programs in addition to challenges and opportunities. Whether you are new to research parks or representing your own established research park and community, each I2RP gathering will provide an exclusive learning environment and knowledge exchange. Each 1 ½ day program will be unique to their region, involving their team, university and community leaders to learn history, best practices and overall ecosystem.  Not to replace the Communities of Innovation 101 (RP101) programming held at the annual International Conference, I2RP should be considered a companion program, showcasing each one-of-a-kind university research park.
