Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration Program

Companies and individual donors can make endowments to the university to fund the development of research, education, and university operation. The outcomes of research funded by endowments are not provided directly to the endowment donors, but enhance the research capacity of the university and, in turn, benefit society.

In general, any IP developed will be the property of the university.
