Projects

PI projects take many forms, but they all share a commitment to innovation guided by character and values, ensuring that innovation serves not just immediate needs but also long-term societal flourishing.

Exploring how PI projects are formulated and pursued is a great way to get a sense of what it means to Practice PI across ASU's four campuses and the communities we serve. Our growing number of partnerships reflect the diverse values and purposes that guide people’s innovation processes. PI Projects showcase the nuances of the work and the people involved. They also give you a sense of how Principled Innovation is evolving over time.

Projects advancing PI are as diverse as the people and communities who support them.
