Opportunity: BC ACARN Graduate Research Series

Standard

Hello agriculture and climate researchers,

I hope this finds you well after a restful and fun winter break!

I am reaching out to you as the BC Agricultural Climate Action Research Network plans a graduate research series this February, in which we’d like to offer a platform for students to share their findings with the BC agriculture community. We are looking to attract students working on projects that are directly related to agricultural climate mitigation and/or adaptation.

I anticipate the series will span the month of February, with one virtual event per week (i.e.

11-12pm on Feb. 7, 14, 21, 28). Each event would include two graduate student presentations of 15-20 mins each, with time for questions.

While extension is a key part of BC ACARN’s mandate, we do not have expectations that the graduate student presentations be formal extension resources. Rather, we hope the series can provide an opportunity for early career researchers to gain experience presenting to a diverse audience that includes producers, industry, and academia, and gain network connections. We hope this can be a showcase of the current questions, issues, and findings BC agricultural researchers are working on.

If you have graduate students who you think may be interested in this presentation opportunity, please share this email or put them in contact with engagement@bcacarn.comFor this series we can host a maximum of 8 students. We’d ideally love to have student representation from a mix of BC research institutions, to reflect the diversity of bioregions, agricultural commodities, and unique research foci across the province.

Thank you for your work and engagement; I look forward to hearing from you and/or your students!

Sincerely,

Asha Wareham
