PECS Seminar “Interdisciplinary and Policy / Community-engaged Research to Address Climate Change and Other Real-world Problems”

How can academic research meaningfully inform climate policy and real-world decision-making? What does effective engagement between scholars and policymakers look like in practice?

This panel brings together faculty and practitioners engaged in interdisciplinary, policy-relevant research to discuss pathways for academic engagement beyond the university. Panelists will share perspectives on best practices and standards for policy engagement, and consider how academic–policy collaboration fits within New Jersey’s environmental and governance landscape.

Especially geared toward students interested in interdisciplinary research, public impact, and bridging scholarship with policy and community engagement.
