MetroLab’s mission is focused on the belief that when local governments and universities work together, innovation can thrive in a catalytic and inclusive manner. At its core, MetroLab is a convener and thought leader, living at the intersection of research and implementation. We invite you to join our network to learn best practices emerging from local government-academia partnerships, connect with innovators, and participate in MetroLab programming.
