Group Work Sessions
An important part of the event will be parallel group work sessions. On some of those, we will decide during the events, but you are also very welcome to suggest such sessions before hand. Just submit an abstract containing the proposal.
Here is an example of one already planned group work session:
EcoWeaver Workbench
We invite ecologists (broadly defined - including social scientists who focus on ecology, social-ecological systems, theoretical ecology, field ecology, restoration and conservation, etc.) to join a hands-on prototyping session to develop structured tools for encoding and synthesizing causal relationships in ecological literature. Bring a published paper of your own: we will use it as raw material to stress-test a causal knowledge schema, probing where the representation holds up and where it needs rethinking. Your domain expertise is what makes this exercise meaningful. The goal is to leave with a schema that better reflects how ecologists actually think about cause and effect. If you'd like to participate, please submit a link to your paper (already published - open access preferred) and a brief note on your ecological focus area with an indication that this is a contribution for this session as an abstract.
