Presented by: Integration and Application Network
Sponsored by: Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve and University of New England
Location: UNE Biddeford campus, Decary Room 207

Course objectives are:
1. To build the capacity of Maine scientists, science translators and  
outreach professionals to communicate complex scientific concepts and  
information to decision makers, policy makers, business and community  
groups.

2. To develop key science messages shared across government, academia,  
environmental management and conservation organizations and  
communicate those messages in an integrated, coherent and powerful  
way. (An example of this would be the development of ecosystem report  
cards to report status and trends of key environmental factors)

3. To facilitate community based social marketing, collaborative  
problem solving, public participation and environmental communication  
through the development and communication of key science concepts  
understandable by diverse audiences.

4. To build multimedia skills of scientists desiring to translate  
research results to practitioner and policy maker audiences working in  
disciplines other than their own.
