Affiliates Program
Corporate members are an integral part of eWEAR. Frequent communications between companies, venture capitalists, faculty, postdocs and graduate students provide valuable insights on potential opportunities, problems and solutions. eWEAR works closely with diverse industries from various sectors, such as technology, manufacturing, materials, defense, automotive, communications, and medical.
Corporate membership fees provide unrestricted support for eWEAR research where there is close communication between researchers and companies. Corporate members have an extraordinary opportunity to inform, influence and collaborate on research projects.
Companies are encouraged to develop multi-year relationships. A member may provide additional funding above the amount of the annual membership fee to be used to support a particular topic area of program research, or to support the program research of one of the faculty participating in eWEAR. The amount is typically at least $80k for each eWEAR research topic area per year of support for each faculty member participating in the project. The faculty directors of eWEAR will determine how the additional funding will be used for the project. All research results arising from the use of the additional funding will be shared with all eWEAR members and the general public.
