Industry Partnerships
FRI is a platform that is mutually beneficial to students, faculty and the research infrastructure of The University of Texas at Austin. The program has fully integrated the research and educational communities at the university and has great potential for industry collaboration and integration. In fact, FRI is structured to blur the line between teaching, academic
research and industry research.
We eagerly anticipate the participation of innovative industry leaders. FRI has already begun to partner with interested companies willing to provide research internships for our trained and vetted students.
There is incredible potential for customized research streams that allow industry partners to collaborate with research faculty to develop streams that address a common research goal while impacting, training and potentially recruiting future scientists.
