This year’s Annual Meeting will
focus on the draft UCAR Strategic Plan and Members’ and
affiliates’ views on its implementation. Copies of
the new strategic plan were sent to the Members in July.
It can also be accessed here
on the web.
Break-out groups will examine for comprehensiveness
the specific goals listed under each one of the plan’s
eight strategic areas, and discuss how the universities,
NSF and other sponsors, UCAR and NCAR can best work together
to achieve these specific goals. Each session will meet
for two hours at the end of the first day of the Members'
Meeting and will be co-chaired, by a UCAR/NCAR/UOP person
and a Member/Affiliate/URC representative.
****Please register
by 22 September****

Strengthening the Consortium
(Rick Anthes, Tim Killeen, Kelvin Droegemeier
and Jim Hansen)
UCAR serves as a focus for university-based
research, education, and facilities in the atmospheric
and related sciences. How can we build and nurture
a stronger consortium to advance the science
for the benefit of life on the planet.

Science
(Guy Brasseur and Barry Huebert)
How can the research community more effectively
advance weather and climate understanding and
predictive capabilities?

Location:
CG1, Rm. 3131 |
Observational Facilities
(Roger Wakimoto and Vanda Grubisic)
How can UCAR best encourage and support the
development of innovative and high quality instruments,
platforms, and services? What is the best way
to train a new generation of scientific instrument
inventors, builders, and users? UCAR role? University
role?

Information Technology
(Al Kellie, Mohan Ramamurthy, and Michael Morgan)
What are the ways the university community can actively
participate in and benefit from the advances in cyberinformation
technology that are occurring across UCAR?

Diversity
(Raj Pandya, Everette Joseph, Quinton Williams
& Catherine Shea)
Science must marshal the collective depth and breadth of human
experience to successfully address the scientific challenges of the 21st
century, especially the challenges arising from increasing human
interaction with the planet and its resources. In spite of this, the geosciences
are the least diverse of all sciences. What can UCAR and the universities
do, as partners, to make diversity a core value in the geoscience community? How
can we elevate this topic to the next level of action needed to realize and support
all aspects of human potential?

Technology Transfer
(Jeff Reaves, Meg McClellan and John Snow)
Universities and research labs have an obligation
to transfer the fruits of their research to the
public. As with many universities, UCAR has struggled
with understanding and implementing appropriate
strategies for technology transfer. What
are the current successes, trends and obstacles
in technology transfer? Are there opportunities
for collaboration in technology transfer among
UCAR universities and UCAR?
