IRIS attends the first N-EWN Partner Symposium


This past week, the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems was thrilled to participate in the first Network for Engineering With Nature Partner Symposium, which served as an opportunity for the network’s partners to come together in person. 

As a founding partner of the Network, IRIS has been part of N-EWN since 2020, when it joined with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineering With Nature​​® Initiative to develop a network meant to accelerate the adoption of natural infrastructure on a national scale. 

Since then, N-EWN has united partners from industry, non-profit, educational, and government sectors, hosted a successful Policy Symposium in Washington D.C., and brought together researchers from across organizations to collaborate on research and publications.
