AFRL selects two universities for participation in pilot Regional Research Hub network
The Air Force Research Laboratory has selected two universities as partners in the creation of a new science and technology ecosystem that will also include both large and small businesses, other government agencies, and venture capitalists. The formation of the AFRL Regional Research Hub network is a pilot initiative, with the first part of the pilot covering the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, with expansion to other regions possible in the future. AFRL will partner with Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, to lead the AFRL Regional Research Hub – Mid-Atlantic, and Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana to lead the AFRL Regional Research Hub – Midwest.
