The program runs for 9 months. Applications open February-March of each year and are announced to IMNIS alumni via email.
Participating in the IMNIS Catalyst program has been an incredibly effective for honing my skills. Engaging with industry leaders, academia, and schools has provided me with diverse perspectives and invaluable networking opportunities.
