LET'S TALK Future Ocean and Coastal Infrastructures

FOCI WEBINAR WORKSHOP SERIES

 

The Let's Talk Infrastructures webinar workshop series aims to enhance the profile, reach and impact of FOCI research through knowledge mobilization presentations, discussion and activities. Each workshop will be led by FOCI researchers. They will reflect on key findings in their research related to project objectives and address how their research can enhance efforts to better understand, design, develop and manage diverse infrastructures in ways that are more sustainable, safe and inclusive for coastal communities and ocean industries challenged by ocean, climate and social change. The series will inform and advance efforts to document, synthesize and communicate lessons learned from FOCI as a whole.
