We are now accepting applications from currently-enrolled PhD students in the natural, social, and computational sciences for a Networking & Proposal Writing Workshop. This workshop will provide graduate students with:
§ introductions to SESYNC, socio-environmental synthesis research, team science, and actionable science;
§ networking opportunities to build professional relationships with other students, particularly those from different disciplines interested in the same types of research questions;
§ training sessions on the methods, challenges, and strategies associated with writing successful proposals, especially those related to the type of work SESYNC supports; and
§ an overview of the two graduate research Themes, for which SESYNC will solicit proposals following the Networking & Proposal Writing Workshop.
The workshop will be held over 2½ days in Annapolis, MD, from January 15–17, 2014. It is intended to maximize progress by graduate students intending to apply to the research opportunities described atwww.sesync.org/graduate-student-themes .
