Moving Forward Together: Georgia Tech’s Collaborative Effort to Ramp-Up Research

About This Webinar

The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) made the decision to ramp down research in March and shift towards the COVID-19 relief effort while maintaining essential campus operations. As research has gradually been phased in on campus since June, effective communication across departments has been of utmost importance. Each speaker will bring a different perspective on how Georgia Tech has been successful in dealing in ramping up research so far, with collaborative solutions including the procurement and distribution of PPE, new access and circulation protocols within buildings, procedures and guidelines for vendors/contractors, and more.

Lab Manager is an AIA Continuing Education Provider. This webinar has been approved by the AIA for 1 LU/HSW
