About the Urban Innovation Project
The Urban Innovation Project supports faculty scholarship that showcases and fosters urban innovation— a project to invite Georgetown faculty to research ideas that advance Georgetown’s role in Washington, D.C., having both local impact and global reach.
As the oldest university in the nation's capital, Georgetown can develop and disseminate knowledge that serves our Washington, D.C. stakeholders. With the development of the Capitol Campus, the University’s relationship with our home city enters a new phase. At the announcement of the Urban Innovation Project, President DeGioia stated, “This is a time to unlock our imagination.”
A faculty working group from schools and departments across the university served to select this first round of grant recipients to explore the broader social impact of the new Capitol Campus's growth on surrounding neighborhoods and other community-based participatory research.
