Socio-Ecological Synthesis Center
The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) is a unique resource for the scholarly, management, and policy communities. SESYNC brings together diverse groups in new, interdisciplinary collaborations to identify solutions to society’s most challenging and complex environmental problems. Our researchers are encouraged to co-develop research questions with those who apply scholarly knowledge, resulting in scholarship that can inform decision makers.
SESYNC focuses on a research approach called “synthesis” to produce fundamental knowledge about co-dependent human and natural systems. Synthesis brings together existing but disparate data, methods, theories, and tools in new and perhaps unexpected ways to reveal relationships or to generate novel insights. Synthesis is a highly varied effort, and its definition will change depending upon the lens of those who undertake it. However, in all cases, synthesis is a means for accelerating scientific understanding that is applicable across multiple places and scales.
There are multiple funding opportunities available. Please visit the website for more details.
