Opening remarks were given by Provost Ian Baucom, followed by lightning talks highlighting ERI-funded projects and several UVA climate related programs.

Karen McGlathery, ERI's Director, hosted a conversation on funding and mentoring opportunities through the new Grand Challenges programs. The audience was invited to engage in a townhall style conversation, providing an opportunity to shape the development of ERI's programming.
