Academic Research Commercialization (ARC)

The ARC Program is a student-inspired initiative created in 2021 out of the Office of the Vice President for Research and UVM Innovations to provide UVM students, regardless of college or major, with innovative training and experiential learning opportunities to become the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders. It also provides faculty innovators with product and business development support to further the commercialization of discoveries created in their research endeavors.

ARC takes technology and brings it to the mainstream.
