ICOR’s community-based Public Webinars were launched in 2023 to address our mission to “enable and incentivize an open collaborative research culture by collectively strategizing and sharing innovative approaches”. Through the webinars, a vibrant community has begun to describe, connect and share results of their projects, with the goal of providing funders, administrators and research teams a unified approach to problem solving.
The webinar titles below link to highlights, slides, videos, and chat transcripts. Also included are links to individual project descriptions in the ORB library.
Please contact us for suggestions of future topics or if you’d like to curate and chair a webinar. We aim to reflect the community’s latest offerings, thus opening the door to new and innovative projects that amplify our reach, strengthen our solutions, and bring energy and synergy to the existing tableau.
