Town and Gown: Together at Last

Description:

Cities are faced with understanding and using new technologies in unprecedented ways. Research universities are exploring social, ethical and policy impacts of these new technologies and the trends associated with them. The panel discusses the impediments and solutions to meeting the demand for research insight from city governments and the desire for real world relevance for research by universities.
