Exploring the Forefront of Green Infrastructure

Join GRHC at the Virtual Green Infrastructure Research Symposium to delve into the forefront of green infrastructure research. Immerse yourself in a day of knowledge exchange as emerging professionals and seasoned academics converge to explore the possibilities of sustainable urban solutions.

The event consists of two tracks, the Academic Research Track in which experts in the field will showcase their latest findings, offering insights that continue to shape the future of green infrastructure and green roofs; and the Emerging Professionals Track, in which students and early professionals will have an opportunity to showcase the topics they have been exploring.

The Green Infrastructure Research Symposium is designed for a diverse audience of individuals interested in the field of green infrastructure, sustainability, urban planning, and environmental research. Students, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone passionate about the intersection of urban development and environmental conservation would find this event highly valuable.
