Key Points: Partnerships and Community Building |
|
|
- Developing external partnerships and building community frameworks around ESS is essential for education at all level and the future of Earth system research.
- Urban settings and issues are a particularly rich source of partnerships and community-building, because the world is becoming increasingly urbanized and this approach connects students with their immediate environment.
- Partnerships may involve academic communities, K-12 educational institutions, local communities, non-profit associations, government agencies and global networks.
- Communication within universities must engage academic departments and deans.
- Sustaining partnerships in the long term is a major challenge that requires structures and goals to avoid reliance on a few individuals.
