Across San Diego County, organizations are using data and research to tackle some of our region’s biggest challenges—from housing stability to economic mobility. Much of this incredible work happens behind the scenes.

The San Diego & Imperial Center of Excellence (SDI COE) and the Policy & Innovation Center will host the 2026 Research Summit to spotlight and address these challenges and inspire collaboration amongst the community.

Join us for a morning of 12-minute lightning talks from local leaders using data to strengthen communities, shape policy and build a more equitable future for all San Diegans.
