Higher education institutions are vital members of Atlanta’s global ecosystem and are ideally positioned to research and address local problems that are being faced globally. By joining forces with community partners who deeply understand existing challenges and opportunities at the local level, collaborative project teams apply research, harness and connect networks to achieve common goals, and direct expertise, energy, and resources to the areas in greatest need. The AGREC "Global at Home" Showcase features four collaborative projects funded by the Atlanta Global Research and Education Collaborative (AGREC).
