What happens when the University of Michigan green-lights multidisciplinary innovation? One year after the first cubes were distributed, over 200 cubes will share their stories–from big wins to spectacular failures–through featured presentations, concurrent sessions, and posters. This inaugural MCubed symposium promises to be the largest campus-wide gathering on innovation in the University of Michigan’s history.

Learn about the University of Michigan’s vital role in stimulating innovation and the value of barrier-free research opportunities. Find out how faculty across disciplines are learning to speak each other’s languages. Identify emerging areas of research and scholarly excellence at U-M that are well-positioned for major external funding. Discover what’s gaining momentum in water quality, cancer therapy, emerging democracies, the financial crisis, preservation of the arts, big data and social media, energy and sustainability, and more. Leave with an insider’s view of the success and impact of MCubed!

MCubed is honored to be part of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative, established by the President and Provost.
