Successful, prosperous, and healthy colleges and universities are a direct reflection of the students, faculty, staff, and alumni that make up their campus communities. Throughout the volatile and disruptive events of the past few years, higher education institutions have been rethinking how they provide support for their changing communities and discovering their core values in the process. The SCUP 2023 North Central Regional Conference is here to provide planning professionals with forward-focused tools and ideas for rethinking their campus’s plans, programs, and built environments.

A Collaborative Research Ecosystem at the Nexus of Science and Engineering

Tuesday, October 17, 2:50-3:50 PM

Speakers: Mike Daly, Senior Project Manager, University of Notre Dame | Melanie DeFord, Assistant Vice President for Research, University of Notre Dame | Michael Hildreth, Senior Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, University of Notre Dame | Andrew Lough, Principal, BSA LifeStructures

Solving global problems requires an integrated approach. To facilitate that approach, research environments must foster collaboration and blur boundaries between disciplines. This session will illustrate how a collaborative ecosystem across science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame (UND) promoted the discovery and implementation of solutions to address global problems at the intersection of human, environmental, and techno-social health. Come learn from UND’s approach to collaborative research efforts and alignment of space governance to gain insight into a different way of using space and developing research endeavors.
