Workshop Planning and Deliverables

iDigBio Workshop Planning

iDigBio coordinates its outreach efforts through the support of workshops, symposia, and other events. Workshops are distinct meeting events, held virtually and/or onsite, that focus on producing clear deliverables and addressing clear objectives. Workshops are often supported by a Working Group. In these cases, the Working Group executes the planning of the event and ensures carry-through on the outcomes and action items from the Workshop. In situations where a Working Group is not required to continue collaboration following the Workshop, a Planning Group should still be included in the application to coordinate, plan, and follow through on the Workshop.
