AI2EAR
AI2EAR Professional Development Cohort
The mission of AI2EAR is to enable long-term global food security and safety by accelerating collaboration between all the necessary disciplinary thought leaders and provide a framework for the sharing of critical resources and information needed to drive innovation.
The International Collaboration to Accelerate Integration of Engineering, Plant Sciences, & Agricultural Research using Artificial Intelligence, AI2EAR, is excited to announce a professional development training available to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars this Fall 2022. Training will consist of three 90-minute virtual meetings and a two-day gathering on the campus of NC State University on September 26 and 27 led by Dr. Rebecca Dunning. Transportation within the U.S. to the NC State campus, lodging, most meals and any costs associated with the training will be covered by AI2EAR.
The fall 2022 professional development will focus on two primary topics:
communications, both interpersonal (having difficult conversations, giving feedback) and presentation (to scientific and non-scientific audiences)
self-awareness and self-management (identification of strengths and communication/work styles, creation of a Professional Development Plan)
