The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) invites applications for the 5th annual Graduate Student Workshop on Socio-Environmental (S-E) Synthesis, held January 23-26, 2018, in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. Workshop goals are to:
* Energize and engage students in innovative, team-based, use-inspired S-E synthesis research * Increase student capacities through S-E synthesis training, skill-building, and networking * Prepare students for upcoming S-E synthesis research and leadership opportunities at SESYNC Attendees of this workshop will join 30 of their peers from around the world and across scholarly disciplines. Workshop sessions and activities will be led by noted S-E synthesis scholars and practitioners, and will range from synthetic proposal writing and research design, to the science of team science, to science communication and delivering actionable outcomes. Attendees will participate in the highly interactive activities and facilitated discussions as individuals, but will also be given the opportunity to expand and diversify their networks and form the beginnings of interdisciplinary, collaborative research teams (i.e. "Graduate Pursuits").
