Urban Climate Collab Featured at UNIC Lightning Bites

5 May 2026

Within the UNIC Lightning Bites Series, speakers are invited to share concrete insights

and examples of engaged research that is driving meaningful change in post‑industrial

cities. The event featured short, focused online talks from a diversity of

perspectives, highlighting key challenges, opportunities, and emerging directions in

engaged research.

Engaged research is a collaborative approach where researchers partner with

community members, stakeholders, or end-users throughout the entire research

lifecycle. It aims to address real-world, complex societal issues by integrating diverse

perspectives and generating knowledge that is relevant, useful, and meaningful to the

communities involved.
