2023 SLU Summit for Water Translates Research into Real-World Community Impact
Experts, community leaders and changemakers gathered at Saint Louis University for the 2023 SLU Summit for Water. Organized by SLU’s WATER Institute, the two-day summit featured the pediatrician whose research exposed the Flint water crisis. This marked the first time in four years that a portion of the summit was held in person.
The Research Institute represents a bold new chapter in SLU’s history of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Research at SLU fosters discovery and empathy in pursuit of answers to humanity’s
greatest questions. Saint Louis University invites you to celebrate the launch of the Center for Research
on Global Catholicism (CRGC) on September 20, 2023, 5-7 pm, with a cocktail reception
at the Samuel Cupples House. This exciting new research center aims to make St. Louis
an international hub for scholarship at the nexus of Catholicism and culture by bringing
together world-class researchers and area archivists. The CRGC is a major interdisciplinary
humanities initiative launched with support from the SLU Research Institute. Opening
comments from University President Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D., and CRGC Director Mary
Dunn, Ph.D., at 5:30 p.m. will shed light on how the center is building connections
across the region and transforming research on culture and Catholicism. Space is limited.
More information can be found on the CRGC website. The Institute for Translational Neuroscience (ITN) at Saint Louis University, in collaboration
with the Washington University Pain Center and the Center for Clinical Pharmacology,
is pleased to announce the inaugural St. Louis Translational Pain Research Forum (STL-TPRF).
To highlight the growing collaborative pain research community in St. Louis, the STL-TPRF
will bring together an outstanding group of scientists from the Midwest and the National
Institutes of Health working across the pain translational research spectrum. Our
keynote speakers are Walter Koroshetz, M.D., (Director, NIH/NINDS) and Vivianne Tawfik,
M.D./Ph.D., (Stanford University). Geospatial science is in the midst of unprecedented digital transformations, from
rapid advancements in artificial intelligence to new developments in high-performance
computing and remote sensing. This year’s Geo-Resolution Conference explores how geospatial
scientists are at the forefront of these digital transformations and what the future
holds for geospatial AI. How has the growing need for real-time information and analysis
of large amounts of data driven the growing importance of geospatial AI, machine learning
and automation? How are these developments transforming the landscape of geospatial
science; its sources and collection; its processing and exploitation; and its ultimate
delivery to a user? This conference will explore these questions and shed light on
how geospatial practitioners are utilizing new technologies to address some of the
world’s most critical challenges. The Center for Research on Global Catholicism (CRGC) at Saint Louis University will
host its biennial conference — "Translations, Transgressions, and Transformations:
The Global Movement of Objects in Catholic Cultures" — Oct. 20-21, 2023, in St. Louis.
