Workshop Roundtables

CLEANR’s Workshop Roundtables are the center’s core initiative. Bringing together leading policymakers, industry representatives, activists, scientists, and scholars, the roundtables play a critical role in CLEANR’s ongoing efforts to identify and address gaps in existing research, advance knowledge and engagement, build advocacy networks, and promote policy action on important and emerging environmental issues.

Conferences

CLEANR hosts and supports public conferences for a broad range of audiences that bring together a variety of perspectives from multiple disciplines. The center has hosted or co-hosted interdisciplinary conferences on environmental topics including desalination, ocean health, energy development, de-extinction, climate justice, offshore oil drilling, and more.
