There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In this informal conversation, Dr. Zak Taylor (Associate Professor, School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology) and Dr. Ubaldo M. Córdova-Figueroa (Professor of Chemical Engineering, Uni. of Puerto Rico) will help us explore how innovation policies within US territories and small island states are crafted and how the influence of the US federal government effects this decision making, all from an academic perspective. Subtopics we will be exploring include disaster management and preparedness, climate change, digitalization, and research funding.
