Events Sponsored by EMI
 Few places exist where practitioners, scholars and policy makers can come together on "neutral" ground to discuss and deliberate. Yet the ecological challenges of the upcoming century require much more communication and innovation derived from the contributions of many minds. Practitioners, researchers and policy makers need to share insights about how to achieve science-based, collaborative ecosystem management in order to produce better management, informed research direction and more effective public policies.
The Ecosystem Management Initiative and the School of Natural Resources & Environment sponsor a wide range of ecosystem management-related events in order to bring practitioners, researchers, policy makers and students of ecosystem management together to explore key conceptual issues and identify recommendations for new areas of research, policy and practice. These events have taken the form of presentations, workshops, forums, conferences, dialogues or symposia.
