Autodesk Research Residency Proposal

Autodesk Research Residency Program Proposal

The Autodesk Technology Centers are a network of industrial research and development workshops based in Boston and San Francisco, as well as a robust global online community that extends beyond those sites. The Research Residency Program hosts teams from industry, academic, and entrepreneurial communities working on well-defined projects supporting design & innovation, material research, and fabrication workflows, with particular focus on work at the intersection of industries. We review proposals monthly, so please allow up to 6 weeks to hear a response once you submit.
