Join PCI in Palm Beach June 6th-7th for a workshop to consider the roles university-based centers can play in collaborative governance.
PCI’s workshop will begin at 1:00PM Wednesday, June 6th, and continue Thursday, June 7th, from 8:30AM to 12:00noon.
The workshop precedes the Association for Conflict Resolution’s Environment and Public Policy Sector Conference, which begins Thursday afternoon, June 7th, and ends Saturday, June 9th.
The Florida workshop is being co-sponsored by the Florida Conflict Resolution Consortium, based at Florida State University, and the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions at Florida Atlantic University.
There will be a mix of plenary and concurrent sessions and roundtable discussions on the following topics:
- Walking the talk – intra and inter university collaboration
- Lessons on working with public leaders
- Connecting research and practice
- A comparison of different models, including business models, for university centers
There will also be sessions on developing certificate programs; curricula for non-traditional education and training programs; research; and other topics. There will also be time to pursue topics of mutual interest with colleagues from university centers around the west.
