The NYUAD Research Kitchens are thematic hubs for building communities of researchers across disciplinary boundaries.\u00a0 They seek to provide spaces for new conversations, and to support exploratory, innovative research and creative collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n

A kitchen can be a warm, inviting place for experimentation and creation.\u00a0 Not every new recipe will work, but novel mixtures of ingredients will sometimes lead to great discoveries.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kitchens are an initiative of the Arts and Humanities division at NYU Abu Dhabi. <\/span><\/i>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.<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
