NAAEE’s annual Research Symposium brings together new and experienced researchers from around the globe to explore the current state and future directions of environmental education research and advance the use of practices proven to be effective. The symposium fosters discussion and collaboration among members of the EE research field, including researchers, policymakers, and practitioners at all stages of their careers. Participants can meet with colleagues and mentors to discuss publishing and career advice and issues and concerns in the world of research. We will also highlight graduate student research in this year’s program.
