Arctic Synthesis Collaboratory eTown Meeting
The Arctic Collaboratory
Committee invited
members of the research community to participate in
an open eTown Meeting which sought community input
for developing an Arctic Synthesis Collaboratory—a
concept arising from a 2007
workshop and other discussions in the arctic
research community. The Collaboratory concept is an
"umbrella" framework that fosters interactions among
arctic scientists and other stakeholders; integrates
data analysis and modeling; develops outreach,
education, and policy-relevant resouces; and provides
training and professional development. Services could
be established virtually and also could take
advantage of existing facilities. The Collaboratory
would serve as a partnership-building mechanism
across the many communities served. This eTown
Meeting focused on community needs and organizational
and implementation issues.
In addition to this eTown Meeting, an AGU Town Hall Meeting was scheduled at the Fall 2007 AGU Meeting in San Francisco, California to provide another venue for community input on development of an Arctic Synthesis Collaboratory. All were invited to attend. See additional information below for further details.
