Annual Workshop
CAV hosts an annual technology transfer workshop. This workshop is a two-day event at Penn State, attended by corporate sponsors, international liaisons, U.S. government liaisons, and Penn State CAV faculty and students. The workshop is a mix of technical presentations by faculty, students, corporate sponsors, and international and U.S. government liaisons, along with lab tours and social activities. A highlight of the workshop is our evening social and student poster competition, where visitors meet graduate students and learn about their research.
Corporate Sponsorship
Donations from corporate sponsors help support CAV, allowing us to host our Annual Workshop, maintain lab spaces and equipment, and hold group seminars each semester with distinguished speakers from outside Penn State. In many cases, CAV-based networking has led to cooperation on technology projects between corporate sponsors and Penn State.
