IU, Purdue join forces as co-conveners for upcoming Indiana Sensors and Electronics Collaborative in Indy

This Friday, researchers from Indiana University, Purdue University and IUPUI will come together in Indianapolis for the Indiana Sensors and Electronics Collaborative, a strategic workshop set from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Purdue Technology Center, located at 5225 Exploration Drive.

Both Purdue and IU will serve as co-conveners for the event, which seeks to identify a number of opportunities for joint investigations in projects that forward the development of sensor and electronics technology.

Improvements in the reliability, durability and overall quality of sensors and electronics are a key emphasis for research partners such as Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, which increasingly rely on such equipment to give U.S. military forces a tactical advantage against potential adversaries.

Friday’s event arrives about a week after representatives from IU, Purdue, IUPUI and other institutions attended 2016 Innovation Crossover, an event sponsored by NSWC Crane at the Bloomington/Monroe County Convention Center.
