Workshop - Building a Collaborative Vision for Training FEWS Leaders
General
The University of Montana, in collaboration with the University of Iowa and UC Berkeley, hosted the workshop “Building a collaborative vision and diverse community to support the emerging FEWS workforce” July 30-August 1, 2018 in Missoula, MT. This workshop was funded by NSF.
The workshop/meeting brought together leaders from all the current INFEWS NRTs to identify grand challenges in the development and implementation of education and training programs for graduate students at the FEWS nexus. A second, but critical, goal was to also begin building a nationwide community of FEWS leaders.
Invitees included PIs and staff (Program Coordinators, Affiliated Faculty, External Evaluators), as well as trainees from the 9 currently running INFEWS NRTs:
1. University of Iowa
2. University of California Berkeley
3. University of South Florida & co-lead University of the Virgin Islands
4. University of Nebraska-Lincoln
5. University of Arizona
6. University of California Los Angeles
7. Purdue University & co-lead Florida A&M
8. University of Chicago
9. University of Montana
