Workshop: Planning to achieve Q-MARE's educational goals

23 January, 2023, 14:00 – 16:00 GMT

Overview

Q-MARE scientists have the opportunity to support and promote an educational programme that helps students gain the skills and knowledge to engage in interdisciplinary scientific investigations to disentangle past climate and human-induced changes. In this workshop, participants will explore how other interdisciplinary research projects have approached this opportunity, set goals for their own work, and develop an action plan for moving forward.

Workshop goals

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

  • Be aware of the types of resources that can be developed and are likely to be used at different educational levels;
  • Have a refined set of goals and outcomes for the Q-MARE educational programme
  • Have a plan for making progress on one or more of their goals
