AAL is supporting Industry Engagement
AAL is building relationships between academia and industry, investing in seed funding to help astronomers launch their own industry endeavours.
Over the past two years, AAL awarded $100,000 in a first round of funding, which was split between four projects. One of these, AstroMedical Innovation, involves collaboration with The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute to aid early detection of heart disease.
AAL is working with champions from institutions who are particularly engaged with industry in order to
further development in this sector. See below for examples of their projects and for recent industry engagement success stories:
