Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP)
Combining Expertise with Innovation
Clarkson University's Center for Advanced Materials Processing's (CAMP) supports companies interested in understanding and exploiting state-of-the-art, advanced, tailor-designed materials and processes to improve their products, solve manufacturing challenges, increase yield, lower costs and foster innovation.
CAMP's research combines applied science with innovation and engineering to transfer unique solutions from the lab into practical applications.
CAMP's Impact
NYSTAR Designation
CAMP has earned the Empire State Development's Division of Science, Technology and Innovation's (NYSTAR) designation as a Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) since 1987, with four successful performance-based contract renewals with New York State. CAMP was redesignated a CAT in 2018 for an additional 10 years.
Economic Development
CAMP champions economic development in northern New York, across New York State and beyond through partnerships with economic development organizations, industry, innovation centers and research institutes.
Job Creation
CAMP has helped companies in New York State achieve $245 million in economic impact and helped create and retain 382 jobs over the past decade through industry research collaborations.
Collaboration
CAMP is a collaborative resource partner with the ability to work cooperatively with other New York State CATs and Centers of Excellence to provide solutions for industry needs.

Working Arrangements
We offer a variety of contractual arrangements to meet corporate needs and expectations:
- Master Collaboration Agreement (MCA) to accommodate multiple research areas and to facilitate long-term relationships.
- Analytical Service Agreements (ASA) for material analysis and testing.
- Tailored agreements for workforce development, including internships, visiting scientists, co-ops and more.
Companies typically engage in initial discussions regarding their needs and the potential for CAMP to assist them. Connections with faculty can be made via CAMP staff or directly with faculty members themselves.
Clarkson is committed to working closely with companies to capitalize on emerging technology and innovations. We do this through licensing patents and technologies, collaborating with industrial partners and incubating startups through the Shipley Center for Innovation.
