Collision on Sustainable Goal #11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

July 2020

COVID-19 is an unprecedented global crisis and will require an unprecedented response. In response, many private funders have issued special calls for research, education and community engagement projects to help our country, state and university respond and recover from this emergency. The faculty at the University of Minnesota are well positioned to receive this funding, a critical step in our own recovery and long-term resilience. However, these calls are unusual and often issued on short timelines.

To help faculty navigate and pursue this changing landscape of funding, the UMN SDG Initiative and the University of Minnesota's Corporate and Foundation Relations office hosted a Zoom Collision Incubator Event on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 from 12-1:00 pm CT.

During the event, we focused on work at the University of Minnesota convened around the Sustainable Development Goal #11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
