The TI:GER program, which brings together PhD, MBA, and law students in the classroom and research lab to advance early-stage research into real business opportunities, will hold an Information Session for PhD students from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 23 in Room 312 of the College of Management (pizza lunch included).

A collaboration between Georgia Tech and Emory Law School, TI:GER plans to admit from five to eight PhD students to enter the two-year program starting in fall 2010. PhD students from all of the science and engineering disciplines at Georgia Tech are eligible to apply for TI:GER.

PhD applicants should have completed qualifying exams and identified or begun research in a primary field of interest. They should be in their second or third year of their PhD program and have an interest in technology commercialization and entrepreneurship.
