MetroLab Network is a recently-launched network of more than 20 city-university partnerships focused on “smart cities”. The Network was launched as part of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Smart Cities Initiative. Our founding members have memorialized their commitment in a letter to President Obama.
Our mission is to bring together university researchers with city decision-makers to research, develop, and deploy “RD&D” technologically‐ and analytically‐based solutions to improve our infrastructure, services, and other public sector priorities.
The Network will 1) promote the city-university partnership as a tool for bringing technology, analytics, and innovation to cities; 2) scale successful city-university projects to other cities; and 3) develop a platform for multi-university research efforts that take advantage of a multi-city “laboratory” to address common challenges facing cities.
MetroLab Network is new. Over the coming months, our members will collaborate to define the future of the Network.https://cmu.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=2001965
