Icnet Global

Founded in 2012, ICNet Global is an interdisciplinary network of over 250 academics, students, and practitioners focused on understanding climate resilience and accelerating the synthesis between climate science and transportation engineering research in the US and beyond. While we all operate within different legal frameworks and government structures, there are opportunities for researchers and practitioners to learn from similar efforts to connect infrastructure and climate science across the globe. ICNet Global provides expertise, knowledge, and collaboration opportunities to foster connections, bridge gaps, and build partnerships among different research and practice communities including the nation’s leading experts in climate science and climate-resilient engineering research. Our aim is to build a shared understanding of climate science and 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. In order to grow the next generation of engineering researchers and practitioners and inform engineering curricula and early career training and development, we also provide educational opportunities to conduct research that builds off of and leverages current research projects via peer learning, webinars, and shared analytical tools.
