The ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Office of Research and Economic Development (ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø ORED) convenes economic development professionals across the System, called the "ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Research and Economic Development Partners".
The Partners convene quarterly in-person and communicate between meetings via email. The current list of Economic Development Partners is below. The ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø ORED also convenes the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Research and Economic Development
Community of Practice, which holds one phone call each month and brings professionals together for more in-depth connection and discussion. It was developed to support universities or centers with growing
entrepreneurial ecosystems. If you would like more information about either group, please email Lindsay Ryan (lryan@usmd.edu).
