Community Engagement TWG

The Community Engagement Technical Working Group (TWG) provides guidance on the ways in which NEON engages with its existing and potential user community. This includes scientists, educators, and students as well as organizations, agencies, institutions, and companies whose activities align with the mission and goals of the NEON program. Members serve as liaisons to the NEON user community while providing input on the program’s strategic engagement plan and the activities and outcomes identified in that plan. Members are currently divided into two working subgroups focused on (1) broadening awareness/participation and (2) building data science skills for NEON users.

If you have questions or comments for this working group, please contact Marie Faust using the Contact Us form.
