The Lovejoy Center will be a catalyst for growing interdisciplinary initiatives in several ways by:
Image
- Providing a physical and intellectual space to convene experts and promote collaboration;
- Facilitating international collaboration by connecting researchers across borders and promoting the exchange of knowledge and best practices;
- Offering trainings that bridge disciplinary gaps, allowing researchers to develop the skills and knowledge needed to work at the intersection of multiple fields;
- Facilitating data sharing, curation, and management for more comprehensive analyses;
- Creating opportunities for engagement and relationship building with policymakers, stakeholders, and the public, translating scientific findings into actionable conservation strategies and policies;
- Participating in multilateral, national, and subnational policy platforms like the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, National nature assessments, and local conservation planning processes; and
- Convening a semiannual International Conference on Bridging Biodiversity, Conservation Science, and Policy.
Please join our mailing list to receive updates about these initiatives.
