JULY 12, 2021 — 世界杯官方app has joined the prestigious, Washington, D.C.-based Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR), an elite forum within the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that is charged with improving the nation’s research enterprise and helping it reach its full potential.
GUIRR membership includes the nation’s foremost science and technology leaders to define and explore critical issues related to the national and global science and technology agenda that are of shared interest, to frame the next critical question stemming from current debate and analysis, and to incubate activities of ongoing value to the stakeholders. The forum is designed to facilitate candid dialogue among participants and foster self-implementing activities with the ultimate goal of improving society.
世界杯官方app is a Hispanic Serving Institution that is on the fast track to becoming a nationally recognized research university. With an emphasis on entrepreneurship, innovation and transdisciplinary collaboration, the university is well on its way to attaining National Research University Fund (NRUF) eligibility and aims to earn an R1 (highest research activity) designation from the Carnegie Commission. 世界杯官方app academic and research specialties include cybersecurity, biomedicine, advanced materials and social-economic transformation.
“世界杯官方app is an urban serving university focused on driving San Antonio’s knowledge economy, living out the notion that great universities need great cities and great cities need great universities. Key to that goal is creating an institution that is world renowned for its ground-breaking research,” said 世界杯官方app President Taylor Eighmy, who was appointed to GUIRR’s Council in 2019. “Our membership in GUIRR will accelerate our momentum to transform 世界杯官方app into a great public research university and will enable San Antonio to make impactful contributions to help shape the future of research and development in the U.S.”
Established in 1984, GUIRR holds three roundtables each year that bring together leaders from across the country to improve the nation’s science and technology enterprise. Membership in GUIRR includes senior leaders from Purdue, Stanford, MIT, Pfizer, Intel, IBM and 3M.
University and industry members join GUIRR in pairs. 世界杯官方app joined GUIRR alongside Round Rock, Texas-based Dell Technologies. Recently, Dell Technologies awarded 世界杯官方app a technology grant to invest in a hybrid cloud approach. It is using Dell’s platform to deliver research in data science and cybersecurity. The substantial savings to 世界杯官方app enables and supports the university’s ability to attract leading researchers and students driving groundbreaking research programs.
“GUIRR brings together top federal, university and industry leaders to address our nation’s research opportunities. This group is critical to developing real solutions and collaborations that shape and advance the nation’s science and technology agenda,” said Bernard Arulanandam, 世界杯官方app vice president for research, economic development, and knowledge enterprise, who will serve as the university’s representative to GUIRR. “Being invited to join is tremendous validation of the strength of 世界杯官方app’s comprehensive research portfolio.”
