The Research and Training Committee’s role is to meet the information needs of the chapter in support of the project teams. We arrange chapter presentations; facilitate training workshops; conduct research, technology evaluation and prototyping projects; and maintain a small library of technical information.
Training Workshops
The R&T Committee plans hands-on training workshops to educate members on technology and topics applicable to sustainable development. A list of Past and Recurring Workshops is available. Future workshops will be posted on the Upcoming Events section of the Chapter website.
The R&T Committee works with the Executive Committee to schedule speakers for General Chapter Meetings. If you have an idea for a speaker at a future meeting, please contact us at research@ewb-chicago.org.
Research, Technology Evaluations and Prototyping Projects
The R&T Committee conducts research projects, technology evaluations and prototyping projects in support of the EWB-USA Chicagoland Professional Chapter. Some completed research can be accessed via Additional Resources.
The EWB-USA Chicagoland Professional Chapter maintains a small library of books and disks related to appropriate technology, sustainable engineering and international development. If you are interested in borrowing something, contact us at research@ewb-chicago.org.
