Big ideas don’t come from out of thin air. They come from asking new questions and discovering new answers.

Can we ease the mental health crisis — with puppets?

Can we make cattle farming more sustainable to feed a growing population?

Can mapping the big picture pinpoint the most fragile futures?

Can innovations in the OR help divers on the sea floor?

Can we create a learning environment that plays to everyone’s strengths?

Can we innovate while protecting people and planet?

Can we heal injured veterans by studying basketball?

Can we restore Long Island Sound by eating oysters?

Can we make new plastics out of old clothes?


They come from years of research and exploration, countless hours
of collaborations and efforts.



They come from UConn, in blue and white, and they go on to change the world.


Big ideas come from out of the blue.
