Please join us this October for a virtual panel showcasing community-inspired research across LTER sites. This 75-minute discussion will feature researchers from urban, marine, arctic, and other ecosystems sharing their experiences in collaborative science that empowers communities while advancing research goals.
Panelists will discuss best practices for community partnerships, lessons learned from knowledge co-production, and strategies for building trust between science and society. This event aims to equip LTER affiliates with tools and inspiration to connect their research with community needs and develop meaningful, place-based partnerships.
Organized by the LTER Graduate Student Committee in collaboration with the Broadening Participation Committee and APEAL. Whether you’re new to community engagement or looking to strengthen existing partnerships, this discussion will provide valuable insights for integrating collaborative approaches into long-term ecological research.
Speakers:
- Elena Sparrow, Bonanza Creek LTER
- Mae Davenport, Minneapolis-St. Paul LTER
