• The University of Minnesota is one of Dow’s strongest academic partners. A cornerstone of that partnership is Dow’s membership in IPRIME. The IPRIME Annual Review Meeting is an excellent venue for Dow researchers to engage with graduate students and post-docs for recruiting purposes as well as for establishing strong networks with professors across multiple departments. These networks have stimulated the development of several Dow funded research projects with Minnesota faculty across a variety of technology areas

• IPRIME has enabled our organization not only to utilize state-of-art Characterization Facility, access to consultation with professors and sneak peek of cutting-the-edge academic research work, but also helped us to initiate a cross-company collaboration with our competitor on a decades-long challenge in our industry. IPRIME has truly bridged academic and industrial research in many possible ways. We have benefited from this program so much over the year, we are very grateful to be part of it.
