NSF 资助的生态预测计划 (EFI) 研究协调网络 (RCN) 于 2020 年 5 月 12 日至 13 日主办了一次虚拟会议，“2020 年生态预测计划：协调 NEON 驱动的预测挑战”。研讨会的目标是 (1) 介绍 EFI-RCN，(2) 概述可供使用的 NEON 数据产品的“供应方”在生态预测中，(3) 讨论生态预测的“需求方”以及组织如何使用生态预测，(4) 讨论生态预测挑战的主题和需求（类似于数据科学竞赛），这将使社区团结在一起协作并使用 NEON 数据产品创建预测。我们通过集体集思广益讨论了网络基础设施、教育和软件需求，以使个人和团体能够利用 NEON 数据参与生态预测挑战，从而结束了会议。EFI-RCN 虚拟会议取代了原定在同一时间举行的为期三天的现场研讨会，但由于 COVID-19 而被取消。转向虚拟形式使我们能够提高参与度和多样性。我们最初的空间限制为 65 名现场参与者，但有 205 人能够注册并访问我们虚拟会议的研讨会材料。第一天有 150 人持续参与，第二天有 110 人持续参与。我们欢迎来自世界各地的参与者，其中近 10% 的参与者是从美国以外地区致电的。此外，会议参与者人数不再局限于 15 名研究生，而是超过 50 名研究生和本科生。
The NSF-funded Ecological Forecasting Initiative (EFI) Research Coordination Network (RCN) hosted a virtual conference,“Ecological Forecasting Initiative 2020: Coordinating the NEON-enabled forecasting challenge” on 12–13 May 2020. The objectives of the workshop were to (1) give an introduction of the EFI-RCN,(2) provide an overview of the “supply side” of NEON data products that are available for use in ecological forecasting,(3) discuss the “demand side” of ecological forecasting and how organizations can use ecological forecasts, and (4) discuss topics and the need for an ecological forecast challenge (similar to a data science competition), which would bring the community together collaboratively and create forecasts using NEON data products. We finished the meeting by collectively brainstorming cyberinfrastructure, education, and software needs in order to empower individuals and groups to participate in an ecological forecasting challenge using NEON data.The EFI-RCN virtual conference replaced a three-day in-person workshop that was scheduled at the same time but was canceled due to COVID-19. Shifting to a virtual format allowed us to increase our participation and diversity. We originally had a space limitation of 65 in-person participants, but 205 people were able to register and access the workshop materials for our virtual meeting. A hundred and fifty individuals consistently joined on day one and 110 individuals consistently participated on day two. We welcomed participants from around the globe, with almost 10% of participants calling in from outside the United States. Moreover, instead of being limited to 15 graduate student participants, we ended up with over 50 graduate and undergraduate students in the meeting.
