Michigan’s University Research Corridor (URC) institutions continue to competitively rank among the top research innovation clusters in the nation in producing the high-tech, high-demand talent required for the 21st century, according to a recent benchmarking report. The annual report commissioned by the URC, shows the URC’s member institutions — Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University — remain competitive as research hubs and as economic engines when compared with university consortia across the United States, said Jeff Mason, executive director for the URC. Allan Gilmour, president of Wayne State University, said the report highlights that the three universities are on the right path. “Our URC institutions have a lot to be proud of. Our combined research and economic impact continue to help Michigan move in the right direction. We must continue to work and innovate for the long term success of our state.”
