NCSE 2020: Science in Environmental Decision-Making Fostering Transdisciplinary Science and Transformational Change

国家科学与环境委员会(NCSE)年会提供了一个机会，召集来自不同学科和背景的学者，帮助设计成果，推动解决方案服务于社会的步伐和规模。NCSE的年度会议提供了理想的条件来充当“融合加速器”，积极地将科学家和决策者聚集在一起。通过将科学家和决策者(例如，NCSE地方政府应用解决方案网络中的地方政府领导人)聚集在一起的创新会议设计，NCSE将通过新的合作关系扩大活跃的网络，以便在共同感兴趣的主题领域(如水、能源等)进行合作。通过更广泛的方案会后工作，NCSE正在为科学和决策界之间持续和持久的合作奠定基础，为进一步以解决方案为导向的研究勾勒出一条道路。第二部分，本研讨会将允许国家科学与环境委员会(NCSE)为年度会议增加第三天。将组织和协助第三天，为今后的趋同研究创造有利条件，以及具体的机会和成果。重点领域将包括：1)从地方到国际范围的科学和决策创新治理；2)将社会科学和自然科学研究与可持续性解决方案联系起来；3)通过促进科学家和决策者之间的互动，召集不同的社区，重点是知识的共同创造和关键问题的重构。NCSE将创造的条件将为真正的知识联合生产奠定基础，在这种情况下，科学家们将提高他们制定未来研究问题的能力，这些问题直接由决策者提出的问题提供信息(Sarewitz和Pielke 2007)。其结果将是解决方案驱动研究的想法和计划，以决策者在实地工作解决的问题的现实世界为指导。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Part 1The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) Annual Conference affords an opportunity to convene scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds to help engineer outcomes that advance the pace and scale of solutions to serve society. NCSE's Annual Conference provides ideal conditions to serve as a "convergence accelerator," actively bringing together scientists with those who make decisions. Through innovative conference design that brings together scientists and decision-makers (e.g. leaders from local governments in NCSE's Applied Solutions network of local governments), NCSE will expand active networks through new relationships for collaboration on areas of mutual subject matter interest (e.g. water, energy, etc). Through broader programmatic work post-conference, NCSE is laying the foundation for sustained and enduring collaboration between science and decision-making communities, outlining a path for further solutions-oriented research.Part 2This workshop will allow The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) to add a third day to the Annual Conference. This third day will be organized and facilitated to create enabling conditions for future convergence research, along with specific opportunities and outcomes. Areas of focus will include: 1) innovative governance for science and decision-making from local to international scales; 2) connecting social and natural science research for sustainability solutions; 3) convening diverse communities through facilitated interactions between scientists and decision-makers that focus on knowledge co-creation and reframing critical questions. The conditions NCSE will create will lay foundations for true knowledge co-production, where scientists advance their ability to frame future research questions that are informed directly by questions that decision-makers are asking (Sarewitz and Pielke 2007). The result will be ideas and plans for solution-driven research, guided by the real-world grounding of problems that decision makers are working to solve on the ground.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
