The Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization is celebrating a decade of the Innovative Disclosures and Entrepreneurial Activities Awards with the 2025 award winners. Since 2015, these awards have recognized the faculty, staff, and students at UAF and UAS who turn university research into real-world solutions.
This year, we honor researchers (students, staff and faculty) from the Institute of Northern Engineering, Alaska Satellite Facility, Alaska Center for Energy and Power, and the Geophysical Institute for their commitment to social impact and innovation. Their dedication bolsters our reputation as a hub for innovation while attracting motivated individuals seeking to make a real-world impact.
