Innovation Forum is a competition and networking event designed to showcase the groundbreaking research of Princeton University's STEM and Humanities faculty, researchers, postdocs, and graduate students, emphasizing the broader societal impact of their work beyond academia.

The Forum will open with a dynamic panel discussion exploring Keller's role in fostering a robust innovation ecosystem and what it means to "innovate in the service of humanity."
