Community Programs

The Koch Institute's community programs features the insights that emerge when powerful forces come together. We explore the intersections where science meets engineering, clinical practice meets urgent patient need, and entrepreneurial drive meets venture capital. See our upcoming and recent event recordings below, or explore our full archive on YouTube.
