Uncommon Urban Collaborations – Complete Survey to Shape next Research Retreat
Let’s come together to workshop scientifically backed solutions to some of our most pressing urban issues. The Center periodically organizes research retreats, where academics can come together to discuss, collaborate and create. Are you an academic, with an idea of an interesting theme for a research retreat? Fill out the survey below with your proposed “science to solutions” retreat theme. The topic must be centered on one of the Hixon Center’s four urban sustainability themes; Climate-Ready City, Green City, Healthy City or Built Environment.
Please identify other potential research collaborators to attend in your proposal.
