One Idea, One Slide Summit
The Office of the Provost is pleased to invite ideas from faculty and staff to be included in our One Idea/One Slide Summit, which will be held on Friday, May 17, 2024 in Mitchell Hall.
The One Idea/One Slide Summit provides an open and collaborative forum for faculty and staff to share their exciting ideas that advance academic excellence in research, education and impact. Ideas are encouraged from across campus, with the intent of identifying problems and opportunities, while simultaneously leveraging a community approach to potential solutions.
The primary goal of the One Idea/One Slide Summit is for faculty and staff to share their ideas to grow and advance our University, and to do so in a setting that would invite teaming and innovation from others. The style of presentations is flash talks, limited to 2 minutes each. After all of the ideas have been presented at the Summit, there will be a networking reception, the intent of which is to begin collaboration and team formation around shared and complementary ideas.
One Idea, One Slide Summit Participation
The entire University community is invited to participate in the Summit. If you have an idea to share and present, please complete the One Idea/One Slide template linked below and design a single Powerpoint slide to assist with your Summit presentation.
There is no required format for your slide. Email your documents to UD-Provost@udel.edu on or before May 10, 2024. We will notify you on or before May 15 of the schedule of presentations. If you are unable to present in person, we encourage you to send a teammate to present, or pre-record your presentation.
If you don’t have an idea to share but you have an interest in teaming and networking, we hope to see you at the Summit!
After the Summit
Teaming will extend beyond the formal reception. The Summit will be recorded and there will be a mechanism for others with requisite expertise to become involved in a given idea. This approach will be more inclusive and will strengthen the ideas and approaches that are pursued. We expect that this collaboration will uncover opportunities for enhancements and improvements. More information about this portal and online networking opportunities will be made available on our website.

One Idea, One Slide Summit 2023
The first One Idea/One Slide Summit was held May 2023. More than 280 contributors were a part of over 70 ideas presented to a University audience using one slide and a two-minute fast pitch. The result was incredible, with so many interesting and creative ideas.
The Summit became the perfect opportunity for the audience and presenters to network, identify partnerships and synergies. Each idea presented had a pathway to move forward, matching the right resources and support to their goals.
The 2023 ideas and their assigned pathways can be found using the link below.
