Decision-Makers
Engaging Decision-Makers
Business, government and NGO leaders turn to the Stanford Woods Institute for unbiased scientific data and cutting-edge decision-support tools. We connect research to action, informing development of policy and management practices and convening top scholars, experts and leaders on key sustainability issues to help find workable solutions. Public- and private-sector leaders looking to better understand and use science and innovation to address complex environmental issues can read our research briefs and solutions summaries subscribe to our newsletters and quarterly research digests and collaborate with our affiliated scholars and experts. This increases the role of science in decision-making and leads to better environmental policies and management practices.
Dialogs and Workshops
Thought leaders and decision-makers can take advantage of a range of Stanford Woods Institute workshops and dialogs geared toward helping them develop workable solutions to pressing environmental challenges. From discussions of relevant new research to neutral collaborative forums with scientists, these events provide continuing education and professional development, networking opportunities and leadership and management skills.
