A Workshop for Forging Collaborations
The inaugural MIT & UG workshop will take place at MIT from Sept 10-12, 2023. We are currently inviting applications from principal investigators at the UG /UCMG and MIT working in the broad areas of Energy Transition and Healthy Aging to connect with a cohort of peers, participate in structured experiences following the Catalyst/Impact methodology, and find opportunities to work with one another.
Why should you apply?
We envision that this workshop will provide a unique opportunity for participants to be among the first members involved in shaping a longer-term structured MIT & UG collaboration . Further, participants will have an opportunity to learn about and experience the Catalyst and Impact methodology such that they can refer their trainees to future programs, and participate as a faculty member in future workshops.
