RTI offers Connext software free-of-charge for University research and classroom use. To request a license, download an RTI Connext evaluation and select "University" under License Type.
No-charge University Program licenses are for educational institutions with non-profit status. These licenses are granted on a per-project basis, for use in non-commercialized research and in classroom teaching. Qualifying projects should have no or minimal commercial funding.
If you are accepted into the program, you will receive long-term licenses for use of RTI Data Distribution Service and other RTI software products. Licenses are typically granted for one year, renewable annually to users who continue to meet the program qualifications.
There are a number of ways to get more involved with RTI and the DDS community:
RTI publishes articles in many venues; we would like to include your work. With your permission, we will post the articles referencing your work on our web site and use excerpts in RTI presentations and collateral. Send us videos, photos of research, and links to your web page. If you develop simple software-only demos, send us a copy. We'll help you get the word out about your hot research!
Additionally, we offer an Independent Research Papers section on the RTI DDS Community and Research Portal where we post or link to articles submitted by the research community and others.
Finally, we ask permission to include you on our web page describing our University Program participants and linking to your website. We also list more detailed project descriptions on our Community and Research Portal.
If you use free-of-charge research licenses of RTI products, we would appreciate you linking to RTI from your web page, mentioning our products in your published papers, and providing us names of people or projects at companies that may be interested.
Send us your students' resumes! We are always looking for great engineers. We are also in contact with many other companies and researchers.
Additionally, we can and do fund research at universities. Most often, the university acts as a subcontractor on an SBIR, STTR, or other government research program. If you have a proposal you'd like to partner with us on or technology you think can be commercialized, let us know.
RTI is a spin-off of Stanford University and our roots are still deep in the academic community. We understand the value fresh perspectives and dedicated research can bring to the marketplace. The RTI University Program is one way we support and promote innovation in complex, real-time programming technologies.
RTI also benefits directly because university-sponsored projects provide us an excellent source for feedback on ease-of-use, practical utility, and new features. Additionally, we ask our University Program sites to help us generate application notes, programming examples, and test cases for use on our web site, in articles, and at conferences. People understand the difference between empty promotion and valuable insight; practical solutions based on applied research give us both a chance to show off our efforts.
