Please join us for a virtual Lightning Talks event on Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESUs). CESUs function as “virtual” organizations, linking federal agencies and institutions to increase access to expertise and facilities. At this Lightning Talks event, speakers will present on how they connected and developed partnerships with federal agencies through the CESU and the projects that they led under the CESU mechanism. Speakers will each have 5 minutes for their presentations followed by 3 minutes for Q&A. After all presentations have finished, the audience will have the opportunity to join breakout rooms with their chosen speaker(s) to ask more questions about their projects.
