Community-University Connections
Our projects are a means to develop sustainable alternatives to current policies, practices and legal/institutional arrangements, achieved by:
- Studying models of ecosystem- and community-based innovation, and the institutions that support them;
- Exploring sustainable new practices and processes that promote enhanced democratic participation and economic innovation;
- Disseminating analyses to a wide range of audiences, through academic publications, reports, conferences, community spaces, and popular writing; and
- Promoting innovation in policy and action by working with multiple constituencies.
Our overall research program has an ebb and flow of projects that depend on opportunities, capacity and priority areas at any given time. Some projects have defined beginning and end points, while others continue to emerge and evolve from previous projects.
