Urban@UW Director Rachel Berney and Program Manager Kate Landis will present on the Research-to Action Collaboratory later this month at New York Climate Week, as part of the New York Climate Exchange. “We are thrilled to be one of the very few university centers invited to participate in New York Climate Week. This well- publicized event gives us the opportunity to share the Research-to-Action Collaboratory, a high-impact catalyst for change, with an international audience of scientists, elected leaders, activists, and green entrepreneurs.
The Research-to-Action Collaboratory transforms university-public partnerships by providing coaching, skill sharing, and seed funding to projects co-led by University of Washington faculty and students plus community leaders. These project tackle complex urban challenges like a lack of affordable housing, extreme heat, and stormwater flooding. The Research-to-Action Collaboratory provides a supportive framework so that UW scholars from multiple disciplines can effectively work with embedded public leaders to find real-world solutions.
Rachel Berney and Kate Landis will present their workshop, “Call Me Maybe? University-Community Partnerships for a Greener Tomorrow” on Monday, September 23rd from 5-7PM. The talk is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
