The 17th Annual STAR-TIDES Capabilities Demonstration<\/a><\/strong> took place on April 15th-16th, 2024 at George Mason University\u2019s Mason Square campus.<\/p>\n\n <\/iframe>\n <\/div>\n<p>The Demo showcased products and activities of the STAR-TIDES (Sharing To Accelerate Research \u2013 Transformative Innovation for Development and Emergency Support) global knowledge-sharing network.<\/p>\n<p>The network includes thousands of members engaged in building sustainable resilience, promoting human security, and creating life-changing social and economic activities. STAR-TIDES is coordinated through GMU\u2019s Center for Resilient and Sustainable Communities (C-RASC).<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s theme was <strong>Adapting to Climate Change<\/strong>, emphasizing collaborative cross-sector approaches (such as energy + communications) to help communities adapt to the \u201cnew normal\u201d of climate change in their region. As Thomas Friedman has pointed out, \u201cit\u2019s not the strongest, fastest, or smartest that survives, but rather the most adaptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The related TIDES event in the Pentagon Center Courtyard took place on April 17th-18th.<\/p>\n<p>A student poster contest was held in conjunction with the Demo. The contest was open to students doing research in the areas of resilience, sustainability, disaster relief and recovery, emergency management, and related topics. Eleven students submitted an entry. Judges were recruited from among the exhibitors and a few of the attendees with strong backgrounds in these areas. None of the judges were affiliated with GMU.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>First place: High urban flood risk and no shelter access disproportionally impacts vulnerable communities in the USA, by Alireza Ermagun, Virginia Smith, and Fatemeh Janatabadi<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Second place: Usage of Hydrogel for Energy Efficient Desalination\/Purification of Water, by Amir Dani, Bijan Chamanara, Berk Kasimca, Peter Touma, and Eray Tulun<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are very proud of these students and delighted they chose STAR-TIDES to showcase their work. There is a small monetary prize associated with the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Please contact the STAR-TIDES Team at <a href=\"mailto:startide@gmu.edu\">startide@gmu.edu<\/a> with any questions regarding the Capabilities Demo.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest information, follow #STARTIDESdemo on <span class=\"linkedinhover7496234\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/startides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><span class=\"linkedintooltip9203902\"><i id=\"linkedin3807291839\"class=\"fa-brands fa-linkedin-in\"><\/i> <i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"xhover3827428\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/STAR_TIDES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">X<\/a><span class=\"xtooltip92392\"><i class=\"fa-brands fa-x-twitter\" id=\"xtwitter3902838\"> <\/i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span><\/span>, and <span class=\"instagramhover797324\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/star_tides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a><span class=\"instatooltip03283\"><i class=\"fa-brands fa-instagram\" id=\"instagram3807291839\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-right\" id=\"instagram3807291839\"><\/i><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtubepageicon\">\n<p>Videos of the panel sessions, keynote sessions, and exhibitors may be viewed on the STAR-TIDES <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLQ5F_jeu2GDuV7rMTcl0Sx-Mpro2ITBXc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube Page <i class=\"fa-brands fa-youtube\"><\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"daycontainer\">\n<h2>Agenda for the Demo (all times EDT):<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mapshowcase\">\n <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NyDJ80Ortmk?list=PLQ5F_jeu2GDuV7rMTcl0Sx-Mpro2ITBXc\" title=\"Opening Keynote by Sherri W.
