The IDEA Center, which is part of Notre Dame Research, is the University of Notre Dame's collaborative innovation hub dedicated to expanding the technological and societal impact of the University's innovations. We do this by nurturing and facilitating the movement of the best ideas of faculty, staff, and students from discovery to commercial application. The Center provides the necessary space, services, and expertise for idea development, commercialization, business formation, prototyping, entrepreneurial education, and student entrepreneurial efforts.
