BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS REMINDER

 

Colleagues,

 

The Innovation for International Development Lab (I2D Lab) under the Office of Global Engineering Programs (GEP) aims to foster a vibrant community of faculty, staff, and students working with international partners to address grand challenges in international development based on engineering innovations and market-driven approaches. This includes research, design, adaptation, and field-testing of appropriate technologies and services that have strong potential to become scalable solutions for energy access, healthcare, water and sanitation, labor-saving innovations, and disaster/humanitarian response.

 

The next I2D Lab meeting of this semester is scheduled for Thursday, January 26, 11:30 (lunch) 12:00-1:30pm (meeting) in WANG 2501 with the following agenda:

 

12:00pm              Announcements – funding opportunities, upcoming campus visitors and events, etc.

 

12:15pm              Seed Grantee Chip Blatchley (CE): Solar UV Disinfection for Potable Water in Developing Countries

 

12:45pm              Gary Burniske (CGFS):  How can we position ourselves to respond to donor RFPs?

1:15pm                Round-the-table updates

 

This semester, we will also be offering the opportunity to join I2D Lab meetings remotely via WebEx. If you would like to join via this option, please let me know and I will send a connection link.

 

The goal of these meetings is to learn more about engineering faculty interests and ongoing projects in global sustainable development, look for potential research collaborations, and to network with partners on campus to target new funding/partnership opportunities. Please feel free to share this announcement with interested colleagues or graduate students.

 

We ask that you RSVP at gep@purdue.edu to this, and subsequent meetings so that we can obtain a count for lunch. If you do not RSVP, you will not receive lunch. Lunch starts at 11:30. Please RSVP by noon, Tuesday January 24th so we can to place the lunch order.

 

The meeting schedule for remainder of the semester follows. If you are interested in sharing your own project in an upcoming meeting, please let us know.
