STAR-TIDES

STAR-TIDES promotes affordable, sustainable, support to stressed populations—post-war, post-disaster, or impoverished. Situations include: Short-term or long-term, military involved, or not. It is an international research project to promote unity of effort among diverse organizations where there is no unity of control. As such it seeks to build bridges across boundaries between government, business and civil society stakeholders who are working toward common goals. The principal means are: (1) trust building and social network development, (2) sharing information and “sense-making” approaches and (3) low-cost logistic solutions.
