Bring a real problem

Industry Engagement

Partner with SEIS AI Lab to turn real AI challenges into learning, research, and working prototypes with Northeastern's technical community.

Partnerships

Shape a longer-term relationship around shared technical questions, learning, or applied research.

Applied & sponsored projects

Bring a defined challenge for a scoped project, experiment, or sponsored research conversation.

Student projects

Give students a meaningful problem and a chance to produce demonstrable work.

Guest speakers

Share the engineering reality behind AI systems through a technical talk or workshop.

Internships & co-ops

Connect with students looking to apply practical AI skills in professional settings.

Real-world challenges

Help the community learn from constraints, tradeoffs, and questions that matter outside a classroom.

Engagement models

Start with the shape of work you need.

We can begin with a focused conversation and clarify the right next step: a workshop, student brief, research question, or deeper partnership.

  • Connect: introduce a technical problem or capability.
  • Scope: define audience, constraints, artifacts, and timing.
  • Experiment: test a useful approach with the right participants.
  • Extend: identify a path for research, talent, or implementation.

For industry partners

Bring the problem that deserves a careful experiment.

Tell us what you are trying to understand, build, or improve.
