URI Innovations Office Hours

Curious about innovation, entrepreneurship, or translating your research into real-world impact? Join URI Innovations Office Hours. URI Innovations, part of the URI Research Foundation (URIRF), supports faculty, students, and researchers across URI with intellectual property, research commercialization, industry partnerships, licensing, and startup formation — and helps connect you to broader innovation resources across the university. These informal, drop-in sessions are open to all disciplines. Whether you’re exploring a new idea, developing an invention, considering a startup, or simply wondering “What should I do next?”, our team is here to talk. No preparation needed — just bring your questions and curiosity.
