Advancing A Culture of Research Excellence
On April 15, 2021, we gathered virtually for an annual celebration of the impacts of research and creative inquiry at The Ohio State University and beyond. Co-hosted by the Office of Research and Corporate Engagement Office, the Research and Innovation Showcase provided an opportunity to hear directly from senior leadership about research and innovation achievements as well as plans for the enterprise moving forward. Researchers shared inspiring spotlight talks, and the event culminated in the awarding of Ohio State’s Innovators of the Year.
