National Security and Industry Initiatives
ECU provides a spectrum of resources that spark relationships between researchers and outside partners. The Office of National Security and Industry Initiatives serves as a conduit through which researchers can connect with ECU’s external stakeholders and align their interest with those of regional business and military partners. The office encourages multidisciplinary research that helps our researchers grow businesses, create and market new technology solutions and incubate innovation. We’re a one-stop shop for external stakeholders looking to bring interdisciplinary thinking to grand challenge problems!
