#SMARTer Together | Smart Cities and Inclusive Innovation

We are proud to host the #SMARTer Together webinar series. This series aims to challenge us beyond the immediate crisis and onto a newer state where we have another chance to build strong community-research partnerships for good. By focusing on complex, societal problems that communities all over GA and the rest of the world face, we aim to provide innovative research and create partnerships to empower all. We adhere to GT’s Strategic Plan and Mission on “developing leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition.”

Let's all be #SMARTer Together.

Food and Agriculture has grown into a high tech endeavor with the evolution of technologies that support the production, processing, and manufacturing of agricultural products. This has been enabled by rapid digitization and data science developments (artificial intelligence, machine learning), advanced sensing capabilities (imaging, 3D sensing, localization, chemical & biological sensing), and robotics and automation (adaptive controls, high degree of freedom systems). Georgia is uniquely positioned to be a significant Ag Tech leader due to the diversity of products produced in the state and the wealth of knowledge and resources available through the Universities and the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

Climate change in the Anthropocene era has introduced new challenges in infrastructure management. With limited funding, fragmented data availability, methodological evolution and a relatively slow-to-change institutional framework, local agencies must develop processes that enable them to anticipate and address evolving challenges while managing existing ones. Panelists will discuss Building Climate Resiliency!
