"Our competitive assets differentiate us from the biggest, best-resourced universities and allow us to do things they can’t do."MU Provost Brian Foster
The University of Missouri in Columbia has identified five competitive assets, or unique strengths, that set MU apart from other universities:
-
Food for the Future
-
Media of the Future
-
One Health, One Medicine: The Convergence of Human and Animal Health
-
Sustainable Energy
-
Understanding and Managing Disruptive and Transformational Technologies
Activities related to each competitive asset will be driven by a network of collaborators (faculty members, centers, departments, corporate partners and other universities). Not only will Mizzou Advantage increase MU’s visibility and stature in higher education – increasing grant dollars and creating opportunities to recruit prominent scholars and researchers – but it will create jobs and improve the quality of life for Missourians.
The MU Conference Office assist with the Mizzou Advantage by offering services for those proposals awarded with conferences. Our office is dedicated to making visitors to the University feel welcomed and to showcase all that the University has to offer.
