The following learning materials are from the Networks-of-Networks Workshop held September 12-13, 2019 at SESYNC. This workshop focused on team science and the fundamentals of organizational management with the aim of introducing participants to ways to plan and respond to the NSF “Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations” (AccelNet) Call for Proposals, which funds the development of international networks-of-networks.
Video recordings and presenters' slides from each session of the workshop are available below under Supporting Materials. To view all videos together, a playlist is available on SESYNC's YouTube.
