Draft Symposium Agenda
On April 5, from 8:30 a.m. – Noon, a Prospective Researchers Workshop will be held for researchers who are developing competitive Sea Grant proposals. The workshop will help prospective researchers navigate the RFP process and will facilitate collaborations between academic and end-user communities.
Registration is required to participate in the Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant Research Symposium.
Students and Georgia Sea Grant Advisory Board members can attend free of charge. To RSVP, email Sara Karlsson at karlsson@uga.edu.
