Unprecedented Access to Academic Expertise
Public Exchange fast-tracks collaboration between academic researchers and the public and private sectors to define, analyze, and solve complex problems that organizations face. Through our first-of-kind model, we amplify social impact by making academic expertise more easily accessible than ever before.
“Public Exchange provides the connective tissue that not only identifies appropriate expertise within the university to solve a particular problem, but it takes care of the contracts, project management, and other hurdles that have traditionally made collaboration with researchers challenging.”
Stand Out With Purpose
USC Dornsife’s Public Exchange creates streamlined pathways for public and private sector leaders to tap academic expertise. This model accelerates solutions to challenging social and environmental problems and enhances the social impact of academic research.
