Join gener8tor for a researcher lunch focused on helping researchers and innovators explore pathways to bring their work beyond the lab. gener8tor is a nationally ranked accelerator that supports startups, founders, and communities through a range of programs spanning idea-stage to growth.

During this session, gener8tor will provide an overview of their platform and the different ways they support founders across stages, including mentorship-driven programs, funding opportunities, and connections to broader startup ecosystems. They'll also discuss how research can translate into startups, industry partnerships, or other forms of real-world impact.

This will be an informal, discussion-based lunch and gener8tor would like to learn more about what you’re working on and explore how they can best support you. There will be time to ask questions, connect with the gener8tor team, and learn more about resources available to support commercialization and entrepreneurship.

April 20, noon -1:30 pm
Memorial Union-Hidatsa Room

This informal session will be a chance to chat, share ideas, and connect directly with the Heidi Grunwald, NDSU interim vice president of research and creative activity. There’s not a set agenda — just an open conversation about research opportunities, challenges, and the ways we can strengthen our research community.

Whether you have a question, an idea to discuss, or simply want to meet other researchers from across campus, this is an open space for connection and exchange.

April 27, noon - 1 pm
Peace Garden + Zoom

No RSVP required - we'll serve coffee and tea, and you are welcome to drop in for as little or as long as you'd like.
