• Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2 to 3 p.m., University Union, Room 125

The Ignite Grant Program is sponsored by UW System and administered by WiSys in collaboration with UW System. UW System makes final funding decisions.

WiSys is a nonprofit organization that works with faculty, staff, students and alumni of the UW System to facilitate cutting-edge research programs, develop and commercialize discoveries and foster a spirit of innovative and entrepreneurial thinking across the state.
