Innovation Forum is an annual competition and networking event designed to showcase the groundbreaking research of Princeton University's STEM and Humanities faculty, researchers, postdocs, and graduate students. The event aims to emphasize the broader societal impact of their work beyond academia.
This year’s Forum will open with a dynamic panel discussion between academic and industry experts exploring Princeton's role in fostering a robust innovation ecosystem and what it means to 'innovate in the service of humanity.'
