By University of Colorado Boulder Chancellor Philip DiStefano:
While the national spotlight has shined on Folsom Field this fall, those of us at CU Boulder for many years know that most of the university’s greatest feats happen away from bright lights and fanfare.
In research labs across campus and spinoff companies across Colorado, our faculty — and staff and students who support them — are making discoveries that benefit your health, happiness and economic vitality.
From space to climate, health and quantum science and technology, CU Boulder is harnessing a record $684 million in research funding last year to address some of humanity’s toughest challenges. These sustained efforts are why the University of Colorado Boulder remains a leading public research institution whose excellence should make every Coloradan proud — regardless of where you live, how you vote or whether you cheer for the Buffs.
Just last month, a consortium of Colorado innovators called Elevate Quantum, which includes significant contributors from CU Boulder, was selected as a federal tech hub for quantum innovation.
One of 31 selected nationwide, the hub will focus on developing cutting-edge industries by bringing together higher education, industry, government and nonprofits to compete for up to $75 million in grants to further develop this emerging field.
