Networking Initiative
The goal of this site is a hub for students, researchers, and professionals from UMaine, other institutions, and in communities who are – or would like to become – involved in interdisciplinary stakeholder-driven research. The site contains links to seminars sponsored by WPES collaborators, abstracts from posters by scientists who participated in the Mitchell Center sponsored networking session on April 22, 2022, contact information for researchers interested in sparking collaboration ideas, and a list of funding and employment opportunities for interdisciplinary, solutions-driven research.
