This award provides support for a workshop designed to enable US based institutions to work with their international counterparts to expand a unique partnership to address resiliency issues. The EPIC-N model partners colleges and universities paired with local communities in an effort to help make cities sustainable. Presently, approximately 30 US-based universities are implementing this model for connecting students and faculty to real-world projects that address the pressing needs of local municipalities and communities as they contend with real-life challenges of becoming more sustainable and resilient. The workshop will provide an opportunity for these institutions to develop partnerships with their international counterparts and to further develop the framework for universities and local communities to work together on real-world challenges and opportunities.The EPIC-N model is designed to advance the knowledge of both academicians and local community practitioners. The partnership that forms the basis of the model is designed to address the broad spectrum of sustainability-related needs of local communities by strategically matching community needs with university capacity to provide research, creative designs and solutions in ways that benefit all parties, with lasting benefits and implications for all involved. Most importantly, students gain experience working on real issues confronting local communities and at the same time, local communities gain access to valuable data that can better inform critical decisions.

该奖项为一个研讨会提供支持，该研讨会旨在使美国机构能够与国际同行合作，扩大独特的伙伴关系，以解决弹性问题。 EPIC-N 模式与学院、大学和当地社区合作，努力帮助城市实现可持续发展。目前，大约 30 所美国大学正在实施这种模式，将学生和教师与现实世界的项目联系起来，以满足当地市政当局和社区在应对现实生活中变得更加可持续和有弹性的挑战时的迫切需求。 该研讨会将为这些机构提供与国际同行建立伙伴关系的机会，并进一步开发大学和当地社区共同应对现实世界挑战和机遇的框架。EPIC-N 模型旨在提高院士和当地社区从业者的知识。构成该模型基础的伙伴关系旨在通过战略性地将社区需求与大学能力相匹配，满足当地社区与可持续发展相关的广泛需求，以有利于各方的方式提供研究、创意设计和解决方案，为所有参与者带来持久的利益和影响。最重要的是，学生可以获得解决当地社区面临的实际问题的经验，同时当地社区可以获得宝贵的数据，从而更好地为关键决策提供信息。
