Membership in an affiliate program provides companies with access to research programs, faculty, and students involved in topics ranging from the specific to the interdisciplinary.

Last year, hundreds of top companies reaped the benefits of membership in one of Stanford Engineering’s many affiliate programs.

For more than 60 years these programs in the School of Engineering have provided an avenue for industry to get involved with Stanford departments and faculty.

Corporate members can benefit from attending annual meetings and research symposia, receiving topical reports and publications, and conducting individual meetings with researchers. In some instances, member companies have opportunities to recruit students at events.

From nanotechnology to AI and FinTech to photonics, these affiliate programs cover a wide variety of research topics and industry interests.
