NEON Convergence Summit 2025: Advancing Continental-Scale Biology

Join us for NEON’s first Convergence Summit! 

The NSF-funded National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is hosting its first Convergence Summit October 15-17, 2025 in Boulder, CO. This in-person, facilitated event will bring together NEON staff, NEON Ambassadors, and interdisciplinary teams of researchers who are motivated to explore innovative ways to use NEON data, samples, and infrastructure to advance continental-scale biology. This event is inspired by the 2019 NEON Science Summit and the NSF ‘Reintegrating Biology’ Town Halls facilitated by Knowinnovation, the latter of which resulted in the identification of 90 innovative research questions and 65 vision papers. 

Key outcomes of the 2025 NEON Convergence Summit are enthusiastic workgroups that will convene at the Summit to collaborate on impactful research outputs such as funding proposals, white papers or manuscripts, derived data products, predictive approaches or new models, curricula or tutorials, or other valuable resources for the community following the event. 

Call for Applications Now Open! Attendance will be limited, so be sure to apply by May 31, 2025. Participant travel support will be provided by NEON.
