What is GeoConvergence?The <a href="https://www.geoconvergence.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GeoConvergence Workshop</a>, hosted by the <a href="https://americangeo.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">American Geographical Society</a> in support of the National Science Foundation’s Convergence Accelerator, will identify opportunities provided by geospatial science and technology across industries and disciplines to forge collaboration between a diverse, global community of thinkers, innovators, and practitioners. GeoConvergence Workshop participants will be able to identify geospatial solutions to societal and environmental challenges, network with others from a variety of backgrounds, and help define the future of research and development.The NSF Convergence Accelerator’s mission is to address national-scale societal challenges through use-inspired convergence research. Using a convergence approach, the Accelerator integrates multidisciplinary research and innovation processes to transition basic research and discovery toward impactful solutions.
