With over 100 partnerships around the world, Drexel research is happening on every continent and is advancing our global impact. We invite the Drexel community to join us as we celebrate international research. This year, we have chosen to highlight Drexel's commitment to climate and sustainability research. Climate change is an urgent global crisis that calls on people and institutions across the globe to act collectively to address it. Recognizing this urgency, students, faculty and professional staff from across Drexel University and the Academy of Natural Sciences have come together to make 2021 our Climate Year.

We invite faculty from Drexel and our international partners to submit proposal topics for our virtual Climate Year: Global Research Symposium. During the Symposium, selected faculty will present flash presentations on their research around clustered themes, such as economics, health, engineering and technology, design, urban planning, among others. The event will be followed by an opportunity to match faculty interests in support of the Office of Global Engagement's Climate Action Grants and other funding opportunities.

Abstracts are due March 29, 2021 and can be submitted here.
