The City and the University of Alberta (U of A) are teaming up through the Grand Challenge to approach complex issues by leveraging social innovation through research, data collection and analysis, applied to policy development and amendments, and program development and delivery.
The City is one part of Edmonton's innovative ecosystem. We are committed to building relationships and collaborating with partners, like the U of A, to activate opportunities to innovate to create a sustainable future and improve how Edmontonians experience City services.
The Grand Challenge connects researchers, students and community partners with City teams who will work together to tackle deeply rooted issues that impact the sustainability of our cities including health, regional prosperity, climate resiliency, and urban places in Edmonton.
The City and the U of A have a long history of successfully collaborating together to solve challenges and identify and capitalize on new opportunities.
Axford Impact Series
A 4-year program where students gain hands-on experience working in the community to address downtown vibrancy.
Community University Partnership
Improving the development of children, youth, families and communities by creating or mobilizing evidence-based knowledge that impacts programs and policies.
End Poverty Edmonton
Poverty is complex. It cannot be solved by one person or even one group. The Cree have a word, kîyânaw, which means "for all of us". It will take all of us moving in the same direction to end poverty.
Wild Edmonton
Using remote cameras to monitor wildlife presence and abundance throughout Edmonton.
We believe that through this collaboration, our collective efforts will go beyond what each can achieve independently and contribute to the deep understanding and support necessary for Edmontonians of today and tomorrow to thrive.
