The NYUAD Research Kitchens are thematic hubs for building communities of researchers across disciplinary boundaries.  They seek to provide spaces for new conversations, and to support exploratory, innovative research and creative collaborations.

A kitchen can be a warm, inviting place for experimentation and creation.  Not every new recipe will work, but novel mixtures of ingredients will sometimes lead to great discoveries.      

The Kitchens are an initiative of the Arts and Humanities division at NYU Abu Dhabi. If you are a member of the NYUAD administrative staff, academic staff or faculty, you can find more details on the Arts and Humanities Divisional Site.

Additionally, you can also email nyuad.researchkitchens@nyu.edu to learn more about the Research Kitchens!
