About this event

  • 3 hours

Are you interested in helping STEM-H researchers engage in science policy? Join this webinar to learn how organizations are making an impact in Virginia. With funding from 4-VA, a team from George Mason University, Virginia Tech, and Bankston Policy Consulting have been speaking with the leaders of Virginia's science policy programs to map the landscape of opportunities in the state, whether through student organizations, fellowships, or academic programs. During this webinar, the research team will describe its preliminary findings and facilitate a series of break-out groups and discussions with the leaders of these programs and webinar attendees to identify lessons learned and ways to support this growing network.
