Collaborate and Innovate
The Lab brings together creative thinkers from various disciplines and across NYU.
How It Works
NYU students, faculty and alumni in a variety of disciplines will collaborate to work on new products, services and business models generated among the group. The Lab will train participants to refine their innovations (and the innovations of others) using methodical processes. Participants will build a portfolio of patents and other intangible assets to protect their innovations, and then license and sell those assets to industry. Over time, participants will repeatedly develop new innovations and become 'prolific inventors'. Lab participants must be willing and able to devote on average an additional 4-8 hours per week outside of class on assignments and projects in order to benefit from the program.
While this Lab will focus on team inventing and contributing ideas to improve group inventions, you can also elect to work alone.
