For Participants: CHARGE TO PARTICIPANTS

‘Charge to Participants’

The following is a list of five areas that participants can concentrate their efforts to optimize the time we have for fruitful discussion for our first meeting.


Your role in meeting the following charge will help guide subsequent discussion meetings and strategies for international S&T collaboration:

1. In order to optimize the discussion, it is important to gain familiarity with the Science article “China, India, and the Environment,” http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/327/5972/1457, as well as the case studies chosen as a basis for discussion. The article is available under the 'Research Papers of Interest' Section to the right.

2. Please be prepared to constructively discuss which cases warrant further examination to inform future discussions and to explain why.

3. Bring insights of innovative S&T transboundary protected areas, scientific peace parks, or other collaborations from your experiences.

4. Share your thoughts on strategies or opportunities presented from the case studies and the specific role of the U.S.

5. Bring ideas for future topics to be addressed in this series, as well as individuals to include for a specific topic, if appropriate.


Also, please feel free to interact through this website or contact us with articles or insights that would be valuable for the meeting participants. We can add specific websites or articles to the 'Research Papers of Interest' section, email information to transboundarystseries@gmail.com.
