Join the Union of Concerned Scientists for a science advocacy summit focused on exploring the statewide landscape of clean energy and transportation and teaching communication and advocacy tools to shift policy toward stronger climate action. 

The Union of Concerned Scientists invites you to participate in our first-ever Massachusetts science advocacy summit—an opportunity for young professionals in the fields of science, public health, economics, engineering, and planning to gain a deeper understanding of how to translate research and science into advocacy and action. The summit will have a particular focus on equitable clean energy and clean transportation in Massachusetts—our two largest sources of global warming emissions. We will:

• deepen participants' knowledge of the state's clean energy and transportation landscape;
• hone science communication and advocacy skills so that participants can take strategic action; and
• look at ways for scientists and experts to partner with local organizations on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

If you're interested in attending the summit, please submit the short application on the website. Participants will be informed of their acceptance by early February. Due to size and resource constraints, around 50 participants will be accepted.
