Celebration of Research

The National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps program prepares researchers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory and accelerates the economic and societal benefits of research projects that are ready to move toward commercialization. Through I-Corps, researchers learn to identify valuable product opportunities that can emerge from academic research and gain skills in entrepreneurship through training in customer discovery and guidance from established entrepreneurs.

In 2018, Cal Poly Pomona was one of three CSUs to Earn NSF Innovation Corps Grant. As an I-Corps site, Cal Poly Pomona coordinates projects through the various stages of commercialization. Teams participate in a program consisting of team building, customer discovery, developing a Business Model Canvas and finally presenting their ideas to industry professionals.

 The Cal Poly Pomona Artificial Intelligence Fair encourages participants to explore artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance academic success, reduce disparities, and improve social equity. By creating tools and applying them responsibly, AI can help end systematic inequality.

Join us for this multidisciplinary event exploring today's task-specific services and tomorrow's possibilities.

All faculty and students are cordially invited to showcase your research, scholarly, and creative projects, so-called RSCA, as a part of the University’s Annual Celebration Week series. As the definition of RSCA stands for “research, scholarly, and creative activities”, all kinds of poster submissions are welcomed for this event, including but not limited to research projects, posters prepared in various classes, such as research methodology with experimental design, product development, new concept design, internship experience when helping the industrial partners on problem solving, as well as critical literature review as a part of research method training.  

The Huntley College Student RSCA Showcase will be held in person on Friday, April 26, 2023 at 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Cowboy Corner. This year joining the event will be a featured faculty research seminar series, while our two new faculty from Agribusiness and Ag-Science as well as from Apparel Merchandising and Management departments will join our students to showcase their research achievements and present their future research directions, etc. Please mark your calendar for both events on the same day and held concurrently.
