In the past year, we’ve made strategic moves to fully re-engage and strengthen our role in academia.
First, we’ve significantly increased the value of our software offerings for academic institutions. We revamped our Academic Volume Licenses, introduced more flexible single-seat license options, and made the free LabVIEW Community Edition available for students to use, this ensures students and universities have easier access to our powerful software tools.
Second, in partnering with Digilent, we’ve also taken steps in the area of hands-on learningo and enhance the Analog Discovery Studio Max offering. This new, June 2025 release, is a step forward in providing a versatile, accessible, and affordable circuits teaching platform that builds on the legacy of ELVIS, with the added benefit of portability and modern capabilities that better align with today's classroom and lab environments.
Third, on the research side, we’re continuing to take a lead role in 6G wireless research in collaboration with major universities, ensuring that academic researchers in this area are at the forefront of technological advancements.
Fourth, on the hardware side, we've also been evaluating opportunities to bring our latest innovations into the academic space. A prime example is the new DAQ hardware, mioDAQ. While it wasn’t originally designed for academia, we’re now considering how this hardware can be leveraged for teaching and research. Its capabilities offer potential for new experiments and projects that could elevate the hands-on learning experience for students and faculty alike.
