Developing the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory: Results from a framing workshop

The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) is launching the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory to develop solutions to the urgent environmental challenges facing the region, nation, and planet. In June 2023, a small group of UMCES faculty and practitioners from state agencies, non-governmental organizations, and businesses gathered at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory to begin planning a summit to launch the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory later in 2023. This newsletter presents the results of this meeting and the intended future direction of the Collaboratory. The Chesapeake Global Collaboratory Summit will take place in September 2023 to continue the development that began at this meeting.
