2019 Research Symposium
Primary tabs
2019 New Hampshire Sea Grant Research Symposium:
“Connecting Research to New Hampshire Ecosystems, Communities, and the Economy – NH Sea Grant at Work”
This biennial symposium is designed to showcase recently funded NH Sea Grant projects and provide a forum to discuss best practices in translating cross-disciplinary science to action through integrated research, education, and engagement. Symposium participants will also learn how successful NHSG research projects strive to address the core tenants of Sea Grant work to be responsive, relevant, integrated, and engaged.
It is our goal for the symposium to help strengthen the sense of community and integration among current NH Sea Grant researchers, extension and education staff, students, project partners and stakeholders as well as engage with potential new investigators and collaborators.
