Climate Change Resilience and Governance

http://aaaspolicyfellowships.org/event/climate-change-resilience-and-governance

(2 days)

American Association for the Advancement of Science, AAAS - Auditorium1200 New York Avenue NWWashingtonDistrict Of Columbia20005

This two-day summit is for government officials and staff, civil society, community, corporate, and thought leaders, journalists, and others interested in the governance issues raised by climate change resilience.Come if you work on climate issues and want to engage more on governance. Come if you work on and want to better understand the tensions climate change may increase.

Why participate?

To contribute to the conversation and deepen understanding of the governance challenges posed by climate change preparedness and resilience and to discuss ways to move forward.

Will the summit have a lasting impact?

Yes! This summit will make governance issues more prominent and increase the nuances in ongoing climate resilience discussions. The summit will bring people together to connect and work. Organizers will support ongoing conversations and follow-up activities.

What is Governance?

The United Nations Development Programme has said governance is "the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels. It comprises mechanisms, processes and institutions through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and mediate their differences" (Governance for Sustainable Human Development, 1997).

Issues of governance—how collective decisions are made, interpreted, implemented, and challenged—will enable or impede activities to increase resilience. Governance in the context of resilience raises important questions:

  • Who decides what resilience actions are taken?
  • How are conflicts resolved?
  • What creative steps are communities taking and what barriers are they encountering? how can people change them?
  • Could a less centralized governance system work better in some cases?
  • Where and how does governance happen outside “the state”?
  • How can governmental organizations be more effective?

(3 days)

The Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel225 3rd Ave SMinneapolisMN55401

WEPAN (Women in Engineering ProActive Network) is excited to convene the 2014 Change Leader Forum: Engineering a Culture that Drives Innovation. It is imperative that we transform engineering culture to recognize, value, engage and leverage difference to support advanced innovation and business performance. At WEPAN’s Forum, leading experts in culture change will open a crucial national dialogue about the impact of culture on engaging and retaining diverse communities of women in engineering—both in education and the workforce. WEPAN invites its members and other change leader communities to submit proposals on best practices and initiatives to advance culture in engineering. WEPAN is championing a purposeful rebuilding of the culture in engineering education and the engineering workplace. Research suggests that substantial culture change in engineering will require a broader spectrum of partners working at multiple levels. Consequently, the Forum will be organized around the Framework for Promoting Gender Equity in Organizations which describes the four ways (prepare women, create equal opportunity, value difference, re-envision work culture) that organizations can promote gender equity. As the four Frames progress, they become more focused on the complexities of organizational cultures and take into account a greater number of factors.

Multi-Agency Craft Conference (MACC) 2014

https://www.navalengineers.org/events/individualeventwebsites/MACC2014/Pages/ASNELandingPa...

(3 days)

Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek - Fort StoryVirginia BeachVA23518

The Multi-Agency Craft Conference (MACC) provides a forum for open exchange and discussion about boats and craft between government agencies and the maritime community.

The primary focus is the dialog between the Department of Defense and other government agencies on common issues unique to boats and craft in their service. The types of craft discussed range from Army & Navy service craft to Navy and Coast Guard patrol boats to Naval Special Warfare and Marine Corps combatant craft. Craft types include RIB's, patrol and insertion craft, landing craft, utility craft and special purpose craft.

The conference serves as a way to capitalize on the joint nature of today's military environment. No service can afford to re-learn lessons that another service has already solved, whether it pertains to operations and tactics, an equipment solution, maintenance practices, or evaluating and implementing new technology. Each organization has a valuable corporate background that can greatly assist other activities. The conference leverages larger returns from the combined efforts of the relatively small boat communities in each service. Within each service, boats and craft remain low on the funding priority list and the conference helps prevent different agencies from expending funds solving a common problem.

Industry participants are a vital part of MACC. Industry participants are not treated simply as exhibitors but rather as attendees, and their participation in the discussions is encouraged.

Faculty Workshop in Stem Cell Technologies

http://www.bio-link.org/home/events/faculty-workshop-stem-cell-technologies

(5 days)

Madison Area Technical College1701 Wright StreetMadisonWI53704

Goal: The goal of the hands-on workshop is to equip faculty with tools to introduce mouse and/or human stem cell technologies into the classroom and laboratory. Participants should already have a cell culture facility and cell culture curriculum at their institution. Participants will learn stem cell techniques including:

  • Aseptic techniques
  • Routine maintenance and culturing of stem cells
  • Light and epifluorescence microscopy
  • PCR-based gene expression profiling for germ layer analysis
  • Methods for directed differentiation from pluripotent cultures
  • Emerging technologies including genomic editing in stem cells

Reducing Costs to Make Stem Cell Courses Practical: The cost of specialized media and the purchase of specific growth factors and reagents is a major barrier to introducing hands-on stem cell instruction. To address this issue, participants will learn how to make expensive items in their own lab. Participants will have the opportunity to create plasmid expression constructs for key signaling factors, including FGF and LIF, which are often cost-prohibitive components in specialized Stem Cell media. Techniques for factor expression and purification will be covered.

Instructional Materials: Participants will receive a comprehensive Stem Cell Manual with industry-supported protocols and prepared lectures. Participants will also have the opportunity to interact with industry and academic experts who are at the forefront of discovery and innovation in this very rapidly evolving field.

Logistics: Lodging at the Madison Crowne Plaza Hotel for Sunday-Thursday nights and local shuttle service will be provided at no cost to participants. Breakfasts and lunches are also included. Participants who are not local to Wisconsin will receive a $500 stipend that can be used for airfare, dinners, and other travel expenses. Local participants will receive a $200 stipend that can be used for expenses. Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Please plan to stay until 1:00 on Friday, if possible.

RSVP Required: A limited number of spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis to faculty at institutions that have the facilities to work with stem cells. Feel free to contact Dr. Tom Tubon directly with any questions that may arise regarding this opportunity ([email protected], 608 246-6875).
