Note: The deadline has passed for in-person applications, but we will still accept applicants who want to attend virtually.

This workshop will be held at Shoals Marine Laboratory from August 16 to 19, 2022. The goal of the workshop is to disseminate advances made by RCN working groups, to strengthen ties among junior members of the network, and to discuss next steps for the network. The format will include presentations and tutorials. For more information on topics that will be covered see: https://rcn-ecs.github.io/WorkingGroups/

Our current plan is to have representatives from each of the RCN-funded working groups to share updates, both about their findings and lessons learned from the process of developing these collaborations, and then we will also host a series of panel discussions on topics such as

-Challenges of integration - importance of language and frameworks in interdisciplinary collaborations
-Perspectives on meta-analyses
-Prospects for stronger integration of genomic data in marine conservation
-How to fund (interdisciplinary) collaborations
-Synthesizing across data sources (focused on genomics data)
-The future of the RCN community

The workshop will be in a hybrid format. Please fill out this form whether you hope to attend in person or virtually. The internet at Shoals is typically excellent, and all talks and tutorials will be broadcast online.

We aim to bring together researchers with expertise in marine science, evolutionary biology, and oceanography, with the objective of providing training and mentorship opportunities for early-career researchers. We will prioritize applicants that demonstrated prior engagement with the network.

Transportation to and from Shoals Marine Lab is via their vessel, which will run on August 16 and August 19. Applicants should plan to stay for the entire duration of the workshop.

Funding for this workshop comes from the National Science Foundation. Participants who travel from within the US or its territories, and have a SSN or TID, will be reimbursed for travel to and from the workshop. Unfortunately, no funds are available to reimburse researchers for travel from other countries. However, the workshop is free and all workshop participants will have housing and food provided for them during the workshop.

We understand that certain individuals may have special circumstances that may make it difficult for them to participate in the workshop (e.g. pregnancy, young children, disability). We encourage all individuals to apply regardless of special circumstances, as we are willing to work with participants to accommodate them if they are accepted. If you have any questions about whether or not we would be able to accommodate your special circumstances, please email us at evolvingseas@gmail.com.
