2008 CI Science Summit - Revised Agenda
(April 28 Version)
Tues 29 Apr
0900 – 1045 ‘Head-in-the-sky’ science plenary presentations [Chair – Jatna
Supriatna]
Biodiversity assessments as foundation for conservation priorities and responses – Simon
Stuart
Identification and targeting of KBAs – Jose Maria da Silva
Biodiversity and human wellbeing 2: Economic and policy dimensions of Ecosystem
services – Will Turner and Rosimeiry Portela
1045 – 1100 Tea break
1100 – 1230 Breakout groups
3 breakout groups (biological sciences, socio-economic sciences, science-to-action) to address
the question: “What are the emerging priorities for head-in-the-sky science?” Each group will
consider the following as framework for discussion and reporting back:
 Human wellbeing linkages for biodiversity conservation – what are we doing? What else
should we be doing?
 Future threats for ‘early warning’ – what are the major ones to anticipate?
 Decision supports tools – what are we producing? What else should be producing?
1230 – 1330 Lunch
1330 – 1430 Plenary – Group Reports I [Chair – Celia Harvey]
3 Breakout Group Reports on ‘Feet-in-the-mud’ science plus discussion
1430 – 1530 Plenary – Group Reports II [Chair – David Emmett]
3 Breakout Group reports on ‘Head-in-the-sky’ science plus discussion
1530 – 1545 Tea Break
1545 – 1700 Closing Session [Chair – Fred Boltz]
Results of Social Network Analysis on Science in CI – Andrea Margit & Trish Silber
Synthesis of recommendations and next steps – Tom Brooks
Closing remarks – Claude Gascon
1730 – 1930 Science Reception to Inaugurate ‘Center without Walls’
Science Summit - BREAKOUT GROUPS II
Three Groups, each with a Facilitator and Rapporteur
1 Terrestrial
2 Terrestrial with freshwater bias
3 Marine
Composition
Each group should include staff with biological sciences or socioeconomic sciences background, as well as staff involved with
implementation (science-to-action).
Tasks
Each group will address the question relative to the designated
biome/ecological system, and at multiple scales – global, regional,
national, landscape/seascape: “What are the emerging priorities for
head-in-the-sky science?” The following should be considered as
framework for discussion and reporting back:
 Human wellbeing linkages for biodiversity conservation – what
are we doing? What else should we be doing?
 Future threats for ‘early warning’ – what are the major ones to
anticipate?
 Decision supports tools – what are we producing? What else
should be producing?
Reporting
Each group will generate a report that includes the following:
 General highlights of general discussion
 Summary of emerging science priorities at multiple scales,
based on:
o Linking human wellbeing to biodiversity conservation
o Future threats
o Decision-support tools
Thematic Alignment of Staff for the ‘Center without Walls’
In order to facilitate substantive engagement in research by all scientists across
the organization, we will be following-up on emerging priorities identified at the
Summit. Please complete the following details to help align you with the
appropriate research teams.
Name:_______________________________________
Division:______________________________________
A. Please check the biome(s)/ecological system that best represents your
expertise:
___Terrestrial
___Terrestrial with freshwater bias
___Marine
B. Please rank from highest (5) to lowest (1) how the Plenary Presentations
appeal to level/scale of interest
