In line with its mission to foster collaboration across a broad range of disciplines related to environmental data science, the Environmental Data Science Innovation and Inclusion Lab (ESIIL) is now accepting applications for its second cohort of working groups. These groups will play a pivotal role in promoting the integrative approach ESIIL champions, pooling knowledge and expertise from various disciplines to tackle environmental issues with a data-driven perspective. Please click here to view the 2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) and supporting documents.
Working groups are self-organized research teams focused on well-defined scientific questions that advance environmental data science and require insights from a diverse group of researchers and other stakeholders. A single working group may have up to 15 participants and a quorum (50% or more) shall meet in person up to 2 times over a 2-year period, with each meeting lasting between 3 and 5 days.
ESIIL will be hosting 3 working group information sessions, a networking event, and office hours this fall to answer your questions and connect you with others interested in tackling scientific questions that advance environmental data science. The first information session is on Friday, August 16th at 10 am MT. Click HERE to sign up for an info session!
