The 2026 LTER strategic plan clarifies the types of science which take best advantage of LTER’s assets and approach. But developing the next generation of LTER science demands the involvement of the whole LTER+ community.
We invite researchers and students—inside and outside the Network—to help brainstorm and shape specific projects that respond to elements of the strategic plan.
Do you:
- Have an idea for synthesizing research across sites?
- Interested in bringing skills to a synthesis project, but not sure how to connect?
- Wanting to collaborate with the LTER Network, but unsure what shape that might take?
- Curious about Network-level science, partnerships and support?
After a brief introduction, most of the session will be spent in facilitated small groups for discussion of project ideas. Please bring your curiosity and an open mind.
