Thanks to a generous gift, the Fiat Lux Seminar Program is calling for seminars focused on innovation and entrepreneurship for the 2025-26 academic year.
For the purposes of this program, innovation is defined broadly as a new method, idea, product, technology, etc. that has significant meaning or consequences for particular groups, geographic regions, or society as a whole; and entrepreneurship is defined broadly as problem-solving, development and implementation of solutions, ideas, products or technology that serve a need or problem, or that build, change, or disrupt culture. Faculty are encouraged to interpret these terms expansively and connect them meaningfully to their fields of study or interest, creative practice, or community engagement.
We welcome proposals that explore the broad topic of innovation from historical, sociopolitical, cultural, scientific, or medical perspectives. We especially invite faculty to consider how innovation and entrepreneurship intersect with equity, ethics, sustainability, or global transformations.
Please review the Call for Proposals for additional details and information on the incentive award.
