The Environmental Information: Use and Influence research initiative, in collaboration with its governmental and non-governmental partners, presents a public lecture and one-day workshop. Both the workshop and the lecture will be of particular interest to students and researchers on marine sciences and public policy, and staff of governmental and non-governmental organizations. Both events are open with no registration fee, but an RSVP (to eiui@dal.ca) is required for the workshop to assist with planning.
Objectives:
• to provide a progress report on EIUI-Partnership Grant case studies
• to review the key research questions and approaches
• to consider methodologies for measuring use and influence of scientific information
• to consider next steps in the research, including existing and potential collaborations
