Innovate Carolina Roadmap
America’s institutions of higher education have a unique and critical role to play in addressing the most pressing issues of our day. At a time of seemingly insurmountable problems, society turns to universities and asks them to assume greater responsibility for developing new ideas and ways to address important issues.
In turn, universities look to their top talent – innovators, researchers, and program leaders – to produce solutions. The Innovation Roadmap, initially produced by the Chancellor’s Innovation Circle (chaired by Lowry Caudill) and released in 2010, is UNC’s strategic plan for accelerating the number of solutions and speed with which they are implemented. Since the Roadmap’s first release in 2010, subsequent progress reports have described actions taken, results and next steps.
