The discounted rate of $2,400 for a standard 10’ x 10’ space is available to all exhibitors up to July 14, 2014. The cost per booth after July 14 is $2,900. Those who wish to be included in the first round of booth assignments should have their agreements submitted by the end of July, as assignments will begin August 2014.

Elite and well-endowed universities with highly regarded medical schools use many tools to attract the
best and brightest faculty and students. Among those tools are state-of-the-art laboratories. However, any strong university—even one without an endowment—can still build state-of-the-art facilities by earning grant awards that include funding for labs and other science facilities.

The University of Adelaide has been awarded more than $3.8 million by the Australian Research Council (ARC) to collaborate with industry on a range of projects spanning fields such as computer science, genetics, agriculture, engineering, communications, physics and the environment.

As research funding from the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies shrinks, cooperation among the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Northwestern University and the University of Chicago is expanding.
