What happens when the University of Michigan green-lights multidisciplinary innovation? One year after the first cubes were distributed, over 200 cubes will share their stories—from big wins to spectacular failures—through featured presentations, concurrent sessions, and posters. This inaugural MCubed symposium promises to be the largest campus-wide gathering on innovation in the University of Michigan’s history.
