Lunch and Learn Series
The Lunch and Learn program was created to help faculty, staff, students, and post-docs gain understanding of intellectual property, technology disclosures, and commercialization of technology.
Each month the OIC leadership team presents a 30–45-minute presentation about innovation, entrepreneurship, intellectual property, or commercialization for the WVU community held via Zoom to accommodate all WVU campuses.
