Learn About Sustainable Urban Engineering at First-Annual Seed Grant Kickoff Meeting

Sustainable Urban Engineering (SUE) at the University of Cincinnati is a trans-disciplinary education and research center. The center facilitates studies of how urban infrastructure and environmental policies affect the long-term health and wealth of cities. It will allow dissemination of information regarding the scientific metrics, policies and technologies that promote the evolution of economically and environmentally sustainable urban regions.

You are invited to attend our first annual seed grant kickoff meeting:

When: 10 a.m. – noon, Friday, July 13, 2007
Where: Engineering Research Center, Room 427

The agenda includes an overview of SUE at UC and presentations of funded activities to be undertaken during the 2007–08 academic year. The presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer discussion.
