The Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture workshop program provides funding for workshops that advance the Center’s mission of supporting the development of climate solutions by:

  • Connecting the Yale community with experts from around the world 
  • Bringing researchers together that will move the field forward  
  • Providing resources for initiating new collaborations, particularly with researchers outside of Yale
  • Bringing experts together to work on publications, policy advising, and other products

Research has shown that a diversity of participants is key for working group productivity and problem solving, and we strongly encourage organizers to include diverse perspectives by recruiting and encouraging the participation of early-career researchers, students, and members of underrepresented groups.

This program is ongoing, applications can be submitted at any time and will be reviewed twice a year, once in October and once in March. Recipients will be informed the following month.
