Resilient-NET: International Networks Towards Urban Resilience
[NSF 2201467]
Goals:
An international collaboration network that acts as a catalyst to facilitate cross-disciplinary global collaborations, synergize complementary scientific expertise, and provide critical access to pilot projects, platforms and research capabilities for the U.S. and international researchers to make global impacts on emerging challenges in building resilience into future urban socio-technical systems.
