DtM's Director of Resource Development Speaks at AGS Annual Meeting

DtM's Director of Resource Development, Lubna Nabi, speaks at this year's Alliance for Global Sustainability Annual Meeting at MIT for panel discussion: Deploying Sustainability Research in Society: Strategies for Success. The AGS brings together hundreds of university scientists, engineers, and social scientists to address the complex issues that lie at the intersection of environmental, economic, and social goals.

The three panelists from NESCAUM, seed sustainability, and DtM discussed their organizations and identified deployment mechanisms that have worked well in the past and what further they need from academia in order to move forward in fulfilling their role to promote a transition to more sustainable societies. Participants discussed the critical issues for building the infrastructure and the communication capacity among societal sectors and academia in order to facilitate the distribution of research results where they will have the most impact.
