About the townhall
This event will involve key international collaborators of our Transforming Climate Action (TCA) research program.
The townhall will provide a platform to discuss how partner institutions and international collaborators are envisioning their roles within the specific research projects and through the TCA accelerators, which are designed to drive research outcomes into the public domain.
The purpose of the event is to:
- Brief the ocean science community about the research program
- Understand other key initiatives that could be linked into TCA
- Discuss possible research outcomes that could have broad impact
