Global Hubs Salon Series 1: Collaboration Kickoff
Global Hubs are Cornell's collaborative centers of engagement around the world. This series of eight interdisciplinary Global Hubs salons kicked off the ongoing collaboration between Einaudi faculty and faculty representing Global Hubs institutions.
Each event in the spring 2022 series focused on a research theme representing a cross-college strength at Cornell and our Global Hubs partners. The salons provided initial opportunities for faculty to get to know each other and their institutions—with the goal of identifying shared interests and brainstorming new directions for our diverse international collaborations.
Organized by the Einaudi Center, the salon series is part of the Global Hubs initiative led by Global Cornell.
