The Novus I-Corps @ Princeton University program provides an opportunity for individuals and teams with innovations to:

- Shift the mindset from science and technology to the learning about the people it could benefit
- Understand how Customer Discovery drives innovation (and gets you out of the building!)
- Meet local I-Corps Program Leaders and Tech Transfer Officers to guide your journey
- Learn tips for success from an I-Corps alumni Panel sharing their experience
- (Optional) Network with others to form teams

- Princeton University faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and/or undergraduates who are developing a scientific or technical discovery.
- Individuals who want to learn how innovation happens at Princeton University and potentially join a team
- Student Organization / Program leaders who want to learn more about how I-Corps can benefit their members
