It's very difficult to do, especially in an environment of great thinkers. Egos usually get in the way.
Yet at Carnegie Mellon University, collaboration is happening all the time.
Carnegie Mellon has become the intersection where the left brain and right brain converge to produce an astounding number of innovative ideas that can benefit the human condition. Collaboration across traditional barriers of knowledge is so deeply ingrained in our culture that it is now the core of research and learning here. That's a primary reason the university is known for making an impact on the world that is disproportionately greater than our size.
This phenomenon of prolific output is why industry and government partners say we deliver "a lot more bang for the buck" than our peers. And our inclination to collaborate has made Carnegie Mellon an ideal place for the convergence of government, industry and academia.
In this issue, you'll learn more about the fruits of that convergence. Among the most productive are the university's relationships with Intel, Seagate Technologies, General Motors, Akustica and Quantum Dot Corp. But there are many more success stories than we can cover here and more to come in the future. Because we believe our research leadership and collaborative nature will keep us in the forefront of new technologies as they roll out across a universe of applications.
