SCoRE Faculty Fellows
SCoRE Fellows Programs are interdisciplinary learning communities bringing together faculty and staff from all six GT colleges, to develop new ideas for interdisciplinary and engaged research and teaching. Between 20 and 30 fellows meet regularly over the course of one or two semesters to strengthen or create community-academic partnerships that foster community engaged research collaborations and projects. SCoRE Fellows Programs help participants push their research and teaching in new ways while also informing strategic direction for the Center and our key partners in this work at Georgia Tech in the Interdisciplinary Research Institutes (IRIs), namely: the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS), the Renewable Bioproducts Institute (RBI), and the Strategic Energy Institute (SEI).
Energy Equity, Environmental Justice & Community Engagement Faculty Fellows Program:
To solve the pressing issues of our times, it is essential to learn how to work in close partnership with communities to combine academic knowledge with the deep expertise developed through lived experience and community action. Increasingly, funders – many aligned with the federal Justice 40 initiative – are also requiring that proposals include strong community partnerships and a serious focus on equity, especially in relation to sustainability and climate action. In partnership with SEI, RBI, and the Social Equity and Environmental Engineering Lab (SEEEL) SCoRE's 2023-2024 Fellows Program is supporting its 26 participants, including Georgia Tech faculty across all six colleges as well as partners from Georgia Gwinnett College and the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance (SEEA), in growing collaborative expertise and building long term relationships with each other and with community partners around energy equity, community benefits, and environmental justice.
