CCOM Industrial Associates Program Consortium Agreement

The Industrial Associates Program allows CCOM to establish collaborative arrangements with the private sector and other government organizations. These relationships are established through a formal agreement that specifies the general benefits afforded the Industrial Associate as well as the contribution (typically in-kind) that will be made to the University. The nature of the contribution varies with the business of the Associate. Software manufacturers typically provide copies of their software, while hardware manufacturers provide access to their equipment. Survey companies may provide vessels or offer to collect data for us. This product is marked as Price on Approval in order to review any requested terms associated with the contribution. 

In return, the Associate will have access to UNH-authored, non-patented software code and algorithms, subject to a separate non-exclusive and non-transferable licensing agreement. They will receive early notice of workshops, seminars, colloquia, and publications and have opportunities to collaborate with CCOM researchers through formal and informal exchanges of ideas. Visiting scholars from the Associate’s organization may be accommodated upon request and CCOM will assist the Associate in arranging employment interviews with individual UNH students.
