Join CERCA for our inaugural Resilience and Adaptation Day on November 6th, as we shape priorities for CMU Miami’s grand challenge in Energy and Climate Resilience. Led by David Rounce and Costa Samaras, this workshop will explore how CMU’s cross-disciplinary strengths can address urgent priorities across South Florida and beyond. In addition to technical sessions, part of the day will be dedicated to collaborative brainstorming, giving our community an opportunity to shape the research and educational framework of CMU Miami.
