Sample
Discussion Questions:
1.
What are the issues with significant implications
which Maryland will face by 2050 that need to be
addressed? Which are not being addressed or could
be better addressed?
2.
What are the key research questions that could provide
needed insights to fill information, education, or policy
gaps for Maryland in 2050?
a. What are the data needs to address them? Are the
necessary data not there, not adequately accessible…?
b. What are the significant uncertainties? Is current
research a sufficient basis for action, or is further
research needed to reduce uncertainty?
c. What critical connections among issues can we identify
within/outside Maryland ?
3.
What are meaningful next steps to showcase and develop
UMD research among local decision makers in the public,
private and non-profit sectors? |
