MetroLab Network is a collaborative of cities, counties and universities driving positive impact in communities by putting science and research into city halls. Their annual summit , which is taking place October 1st-2nd in Washington, DC, brings together 150+ local government leaders, innovators, and academic researchers from across the civic ecosystem that aim to intentionally bring two vital public institutions together in partnership: our local governments and universities. On the heels of generational investment from the federal government, innovation and economic growth is a priority in regions across the country. As this moves forward, communities are also grappling with complex problems that require capacity, research, and partnership. This year, the summit will focus on “An R&D Agenda in Service of Cities” – or how local governments consider research as an asset, and how this can move forward step by step with the university community during this time of innovation and economic investment. Don’t miss the chance to connect with peers, share insights, and contribute to the future of civic innovation. More information about the event, including the agenda, speakers and registration details can be found here.
