SMART Training Platform Summer School

The SMART Training Platform’s summer school is an opportunity to learn new concepts, methods, and perspectives in implementation science and healthy cities. The learning experience includes small interactive sessions, round table discussion, field trip, and a case study project where interdisciplinary teams solve a “real-world” sector partner .

We welcome senior undergraduates, graduate/postdoctoral students, and working professionals with an interest in closing the gap between what we know and what we do by exploring and identifying challenges that cities face today and tomorrow. This could include physical activity, healthy aging, social connectivity, economic opportunity, and injury prevention, as well as access to health services, healthy-nutritious food, transportation, housing, clean air and green space.

Hosted by the SMART Training Platform. A week long immersive event exploring topics such as the circular economy, digital agri-food, healthy and smart cities. The SMART Training Platform's summer school is an opportunity to learn new concepts, methods, and perspectives in implementation science.
