STEM for Global Resilience
The mandate of the STEM for Global Resilience (STEM4GR) research cluster is to critically inform public debate and shape the policy discourse addressing the nexus between technology, innovation, social and economic policy. The cluster brings together scientists from all domains – material, physical, life and social science – to help advance evidence-based decisions for disaster recovery, economic growth, a sustainable environment and improved quality of life.
The Cluster hosts a virtual bi-weekly one hour open discussion to promote open and a spirited discussion on complex global challenges. At the intersection of STEM Disciplines and public policy choices, there is a need to to foster a deeper meaningful dialogue across disciplinary boundaries to bridge gaps in the knowledge base and shape pathways for new lines of inquiry and research initiatives. It is a non-agenda driven, friendly exploration of critical issues of the day. The STEM4GR Coffee Lounge has attracted thought leaders from around the world. Students and faculty are welcome to attend. Join the cluster to receive the Coffee Lounge details.
