MxD for Academics: Funding and Membership Opportunities

Join us for a webinar on the benefits of MxD membership for Academic Institutions. We will explore how joining the MxD ecosystem can provide resources that align with institutional goals, talk through funding opportunities, hear from a current Academic member, and more.

We will also dive into our recently released Request for Proposal (RFP) on Emerging Technology, an immediate funding opportunity for Academic Institutions. The RFP will be released on Thursday, July 8th. For more information on this RFP, email the Projects Team at projects@mxdusa.org.

Attendees can expect the following outcomes from this webinar:

  • Learn about the various benefits that MxD offers to its Academic Members
  • Tips on best practices on how to engage with MxD’s open RFP
  • Opportunity for Q&A with MxD team members

MxD’s emerging technology program enables academic institutions to leverage funding from both MxD and Industry Partners to develop early-stage (TRL 3-6) applied research in digital manufacturing and cybersecurity research in manufacturing.
