The Capability Is There. The Need Is There. Let's Make the Connection.
Higher education has extraordinary expertise, research, facilities, equipment, talent and other resources. Organizations have needs, challenges and opportunities.
University-Connect brings them together in one two-way marketplace.
How It Works: Two Ways to Start. One Place to Connect.
Whether you're exploring what higher education has to offer or bringing forward a need, challenge or opportunity, University-Connect gives you a place to start.
Discover What's Possible
Search expertise, research opportunities, facilities, equipment, talent and other capabilities across higher education.
Start With the Need
Have a challenge, project, workforce need or opportunity? Bring it forward without having to know where inside higher education the answer might live.
Make the Connection
Connect with relevant people and resources and move from discovery toward conversation, collaboration or engagement.
From Discovery to Engagement
Search by What You Need
Explore expertise, research, facilities, equipment, talent and other institutional capabilities without having to know which department, office or individual to contact.
Bring Your Needs Forward
Share a challenge, project, talent need or opportunity with higher education—even when you don't know where the right connection might be.
Connect and Engage
Move from discovery to action through inquiries, scheduling, bookings or other engagement pathways established by the resource owner or institution.
Learn From External Interest
Marketplace activity helps institutions understand which capabilities are attracting attention and where external interest may be emerging.
