  <title><![CDATA[IPaT Thursday Think Tank: Convergence Innovation Competition ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Faculty and students, please join us to explore how your current student research and course projects can leverage the <a href="https://research.gatech.edu/ipat/cic">Convergence Innovation Competition (CIC)</a> to improve their impact and visibility.&nbsp;The spring 2022 competition focuses on the global, social, and cultural challenges of our times through the competition&rsquo;s <a href="https://research.gatech.edu/ipat/cic/convergence-areas">convergence areas</a>. The CIC&nbsp;is dedicated to helping students create and showcase innovative and viable products with the support of campus and industry resources. Winning entries will include a working end-to-end prototype which operates on converged services, media, networks, services, and platforms as well as a value proposition model. As part of the competition, one team is awarded a Golden Ticket to participate in the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://sites.gatech.edu/startuplaunch2021/">Create-X Startup Launch</a>&nbsp;</strong>program during the summer!</p>

<p>During this Thursday Think Tank, we will:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Provide advice on creating a dynamic CIC submission</li>
	<li>Brainstorm project ideas and options with student teams</li>
	<li>Explore the alignment and intersections of current course topics and research initiatives with the convergence areas</li>
	<li>Highlight the ways faculty can encourage student participation based on class projects, including different deliverable timelines</li>
</ul>

<p>Facilitated by <strong>Russ Clark</strong>, Director of GT-RNOC, Senior Research Scientist, School of Computer Science; <strong>Matt Sanders</strong>, Director of Research Operations, Institute for People and Technology; and <strong>Faith Sumpter</strong>, Program &amp; Operations Manager, Institute for People and Technology</p>
