Why Sponsor IPT?
It’s all about the people. You’ll get to network with the brightest young minds from around the world while also promoting your organization to an international audience and planting the seeds for future growth. We’re not biologists, but we know a symbiotic relationship when we see one.
“This may very well be the largest international academic event ever held on our campus. Hosting the tournament at OSU sends a message that world-class science can happen anywhere, including right here in Oklahoma.”
—Dr. Rosty Martinez, OSU IPT organizing committee
