Travel Awards

ICNet Global seeks to build a shared understanding of climate change impacts to infrastructure through networking opportunities, workshops, and sharing of resources and best practices to inform these efforts across the US and internationally. We provide expertise, knowledge, and collaboration opportunities to foster connections, bridge gaps, and build partnerships among different research and practice communities.
