As the University of Vermont’s research enterprise grows year by year, leaders in research, sustainability, and innovation are asking: how can UVM translate the research and resources it has to offer not just to Burlington and Vermont but to the country and beyond? One answer: the second annual Research, Innovation, Sustainability, and Entrepreneurship Summit at UVM, held June 24-25 at UVM's Davis Center. RISE presents panels, discussions, and showcases aimed at accelerating systemic change with vital human development. Over 900 people attended the inaugural event last year (see story at right).
