Student Information

Goals

The Overall Goals for Graduate Students Attending the GLEON All Hands' Meeting are to:

  1. continue to improve and develop student involvement within GLEON;
  2. provide students with an opportunity to interact with an international assemblage of lake scientists and information technology specialists in an informal, highly interactive setting; and
  3. encourage students to conduct research using GLEON data or affiliated resources in collaboration with the GLEON community and sister networks.

General Requirement for ALL Student Participants at GLEON meetings

  1. Present a poster* at the Poster Session;
  2. Attend GSA-led workshop**, usually scheduled on the day before the main program begins. GSA workshops are organized by the GSA leadership team, prioritized for student and postdoc attendees, but open to other registered participants at mid-career or experienced scientists, if space permits; and
  3. Conditional: participate in the NPP - Network Partnership Program as the New-to-GLEON Partner if this is your 1st or 2nd time attending a GLEON All Hands' Meeting.

* If you have any concerns or for any reason are not able to bring a poster to the All Hands’ Meeting, please contact the GSA: gsa.gleon@gmail.com.

** There may be exceptions according to individual needs and conditions, such as personal travel scheduling conflict so you will miss the GSA-led workshops, or another concurrent workshop on the same day suits your research needs better. In the latter scenario, you are absolutely free to choose any of the pre-meeting workshops to attend.
