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 Wednesday March 23 at 12:00-1:30pm in WANG 2501 with the following agenda:

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

12:15pm Andrea and Gary Burniske, Preparing to respond to a call for proposals

12:45pm Chip Blatchley, Continuous-flow solar UVB disinfection of water

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.

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.
