As our cities and environments become more complex and face unprecedented challenges, it is no longer sufficient to provide typical design services. It requires offering research, foresight, innovation, and evaluation. Join three firms in allied fields that have built dedicated teams to tackle these themes and inform their practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what factors initiated the formation of distinct research and innovation teams within firms across the AEC industry.
• Learn about mechanisms AEC firms use to fund research and innovation work.
• Discover how AEC firms identify and prioritize research themes or issues.
• Explore effective methods of research project execution.
