MultiSector Dynamics (MSD) Workshop: Advancing Complex Adaptive Human-Earth Systems Science in a World of Interconnected Risks

The MultiSector Dynamics (MSD) Community of Practice is excited to announce that the Inaugural MSD Workshop will take place on October 3-5, 2023 at UC Davis. The workshop aims to bring together members of the MSD community of practice to advance understanding of the co-evolution of human and natural systems and build the next generation of tools that bridge sectors, scales, and systems to realize a more resilient and equitable future. The theme of the workshop is “Advancing Complex Adaptive Human-Earth Systems Science in a World of Interconnected Risks“.

The workshop will host approximately 100 attendees, with a large focus on students and early career scientists (Ph.D. received within the past 10 years). Workshop goals, along with a preliminary agenda and a list of preliminary thematic breakout sessions are provided below.

Workshop attendees will be selected based on the submission of an abstract, a biosketch and a workshop-leveraging plan that demonstrate novel research relevant to the MSD workshop cross-cutting themes and the capacity to advance the workshop objectives. The deadline for the application to attend the MSD Workshop is June 9th, 11:59pm PT. Please apply using the MSD Workshop application form. Limited funds are available to waive registration fees and for travel awards. These funds will be distributed based on the evaluation of the abstract, biosketch and workshop leveraging plan.
