FUNDING MEMO
Title: Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology GRO - 2023
Funding Agency: Samsung Electronics
External Deadline(s):
08/22/2023 12:00 PM PDT (Full Proposal)
Cognizant Office: OTTCP/OSR
Description:
The SAMSUNG Global Research Outreach (GRO) Program is an important part of growing SAMSUNG's academic research engagement and collaboration platforms.
World-class university researchers have been annually invited since 2009 to propose novel research ideas and to work with our R&D teams to foster technological innovation. This has resulted in actively collaborative relationships with over 150 leading universities worldwide.
Selected GRO projects will be funded with one year. This project may be extended up to three years, based on annual research outcomes and necessity for further research partnership determined by SAMSUNG. Joint research proposals from multiple universities are welcome and acceptable.
The GRO Program represents an opportunity for SAMSUNG and universities to build a mutually beneficial research relationship and we look forward to your participation.
A PDF version of 2023 GRO brochure is available for
download.
