Affiliate Members

Our affiliates benefit from a close connection to Stanford’s many activities in compression research and engineering. For web visitors who are not yet an affiliate, we will be happy to set up a meeting with you to explore the spectrum of SCF Affiliate programs and their related benefits. Corporate membership is $21,000 per annum, and may begin at any time. 

SCF affiliates receive:

• Invitations to attend all lectures, and other SCF-sponsored seminars and workshops. SCF events provide a forum in which members can learn about advances in research and engineering, discuss new technology and marketing trends, and form industry standards.
• Facilitated access to video recordings of SCF events including seminars, workshops, and courses in compression
• Engagement with Stanford graduates through posting job openings, viewing student resumes, and scheduling on-campus interviews.
• Option to place a Researcher-in-Residence at the forum. This is a great way to plug a key research employee into some of the state-of-the-art research projects in their area of interest. Researcher-in-Residence/Visiting Scholar may come to the school for a one-year term (with possible one-year extension), provided certain qualifications are met (administrative fees paid, invitation from department, signing University form SU-18A, etc.).
• Option to be involved with Stanford’s research on compression by providing a mentor to work with a member of Stanford’s faculty — who will act as an Advisor — and their students on a specific research project.
• Facilitated engagement with Faculty.
• Affiliate Program members may provide additional funding. All research results arising from the use of the additional funding will be shared with all program members and the general public. Affiliate Program members may request the additional funding be used to support a particular area of program research identified on the program’s website, or the program research of a named faculty member, as long as the faculty is identified on the program website as participating in the Affiliate Program. In either instance, the director of the Affiliate Program will determine how the additional funding will be used in the program’s research.
• The site presentations and all information, data and results arising from such visitation interactions will be shared with all members and the public.
