Virtual Transdisciplinary Collaborations in Disaster Relief and Resilience DOI: 10.7928/90D4-PB98 Description/Abstract: This lightning talk discusses virtual, trandisciplinary collaborations within the context of disaster relief and resiliency. The project, evolving out of a cohort challenge initiated by Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy, and Water Systens Education Resources (INFEWS-ER), created a knowledge co-production process that can be utilized to build solutions in tandem with or in support of pre-existing community initiatives for disaster relief and resilience in Puerto Rico. Stakeholder reflections were conducted at the conclusion of the project to draw out critical lessons learned, of which two are highlighted here: 1) reflexivity and adaptability must be continuously practiced throughout the extent of the project; 2) the disaster(s) in focus must be contextualized.
