BROADENING PARTICIPATION

Overview

Resources

LEAP prioritizes broad participation in the development and expansion of the field of Climate Data Science so that talented and inspired colleagues may work together to address current scientific challenges.

  • Core = Broadening Participation is central to LEAP’s mission and is a part of every aspect of the Center’s work.
  • Commitment =  LEAP is committed to leveraging perspectives, experiences and ideas from all participants to produce rigorous climate data science and impactful community engagement initiatives.

To access or inquire about LEAP resources to support broad participation in climate data science, please reach out to Catherine Cha, Senior Manager of Communications + Knowledge Transfer.

Key Tenets of Broadening Participation at LEAP

Broad participation is critical to LEAPs scientific mission.

  • Innovation = Richer questions, problems, and solutions emerge from skilled participants. LEAP’s team is equipped to address these complexities.
  • Legacy = LEAP is committed to bidirectional knowledge transfer. Not only will we share our science out, we also acknowledge that we have much to learn from other stakeholders who possess knowledge critical to LEAP’s mission.
  • Impact = LEAP’s work aims to address real needs. Our science must reach beyond the university.

Broadening Participation Objectives

  • Integrate LEAP’s values into recruitment, research, education, and knowledge transfer efforts.
  • Increase engagement of all interested parties in the discipline of climate data science.
  • Assess, review and revise all LEAP activities to evaluate the scope of participation.

Knowledge Transfer Objectives

  • Bidirectional Dialogue = between academia, private industry, government, non-profits and the public. 
  • Innovation = in storytelling, visualization and social media for broad stakeholder intake.
  • Access = so that all LEAP research is open-source and broadly accessible.
