The Minnesota Stormwater Seminar and Research Spotlight Series brings exemplars of advanced stormwater innovation and knowledge to Minnesota to share what they’ve learned and how they’ve pushed the boundaries in the stormwater arena. The Minnesota Research Spotlights feature research projects underway or completed through the Minnesota Stormwater Research and Technology Transfer Program and other Minnesota-based research programs. The monthly seminar series is dedicated to stormwater and green infrastructure topics with an emphasis on successes and lessons learned from field implementation and applied research and evaluation, specifically for an audience of stormwater practitioners and professionals. Events includes a presentation, panel discussion and Q&A with participants.
