STRONG Innovation Summit Series
Submitted by tbs on Tue, 2020-06-02 15:09
STRONG Cycle 2 Innovation Summit Series – Virtual Edition!
June 8th 2020 – August 7th 2020
Although we missed the in-person interactions that were enjoyed during Cycle 1 at ARL Northeast in Burlington, MA, there were a multitude of benefits afforded by this virtual modality during Cycle 2. We significantly spread the time commitment out across the summer, increasing participation feasibility and access (please scroll down for agenda details).
The entire 9-week series was held using Microsoft Teams, within which we leveraged online tools to create a dynamic, collaborative environment for idea generation, brainstorming, exploring new partnerships, and more!
Please browse over to our STRONG Program Page for details about our aims and how to become a participant yourself!
