To build on our successes over the past three years\, we are now pi voting to six Flagship projects that will be in place through 2025. Flagsh ip projects are four-year research projects designed to foster long-term i nterdisciplinary research collaboration and stakeholder engagement in key areas of resilience-related research. These include biodiversity\, disaste r planning\, circular economies\, and environmental justice\, while also u sing the tools of archaeology and integrated modelling to understand our p ast and inform our possible futures. \n We see several advantages to havi ng six multi-year projects in our portfolio instead of a dozen (or more) o ne-year projects. Having multiple years will mean more time to build trust with our community partners and to grow our projects in new and surprisin g directions\, while also providing some baseline stability for our resear ch teams and clarity for our external audiences. These six projects tackle the biggest issues we have uncovered so far as part of our grand challeng e initiative. \n Join us from May 10th through 12th as the-leaders of the flagships introduce their visions for the next four years. Come and ask qu estions\, get involved\, and provide feedback on our future endeavors.
