Innovation for Impact Workshops at MUET

In May, team members from the U.S. travelled to MUET in Pakistan for a series of workshops. The theme for the mission was “Innovation for Impact.” Building on this theme, the team worked to more deeply engage MUET faculty, students, and stakeholders in a collaborative process. Workshop instructor teams included U faculty members along with selected MUET faculty as co-instructors. The mission helped MUET faculty apply strategies, data-sets, and tools to assess water system climate vulnerabilities and develop adaptation strategies. It also helped MUET faculty brainstorm innovations for advancing technological, financial, and social solutions to supplying clean water. The group worked to build industry-academia research partnerships, as well as developing teaching materials using the flipped classroom approach. [ read more ]
