New System Naming Contest!

Last fall, the Office of Research & Innovation received dozens of name suggestions (some serious, others hilarious) for the University’s new research management software system that will replace COEUS. With the help of University Communications and the Office of General Counsel, the field has been narrowed down to six finalists. Now, you can pick your favorite naming contest submission for the new system.

Voting will be open until March 12, 2021, after which point, we will crown the winner!

We look forward to announcing the campus favorite!

Contest Information

With change comes opportunity and although “COEUS” brings a sense of calm across campus, all good things must come to an end. Just kidding – let’s give COEUS a proper sendoff with a new system name that encompasses Drexel research!

We needed ideas; so, what better place to look than in our own backyard. We ran the contest in two phases:

1. Idea Generation – names were summited along with a brief description of why it represents the new system, research administration, and research aspirations at Drexel. The submission window closed on September 18, 2020.

2. Finalist Voting – we narrowed down the submissions and held a campus-wide vote. The name with the most votes won! The voting window closed on March 12, 2021 and DragonSPOT: Drexel Sponsored Programs Online Tracking was declared the champion.
