<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Hi everyone!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Over the past
few months I have been working with a Sponsor connected with international
scientists. She is passionate about inviting people to have new conversations
around how we “do” science; how science is funded; the future of science and
education; and the emerging trends leading into the next era of science. The
goal is to experientially engage a highly diverse group of participants
(scientists, policy makers and change agents) in ways that invite
self-organization, collaboration and shared leadership – as opposed to how
people interact in your typical conference. Nationally and
internationally, science faces many urgent challenges not unlike the system
breakdowns that we see in so many areas. Certainly there is a sense that the
basic ingredients for an Open Space are there not the least of which real
issues of concerns, high levels of complexity, diverse groups, great urgency.
That said, the Sponsor feels a certain degree of trepidation about how
independent-minded, self-directed scientists might respond to Open Space. Not a
new question for any of us I know. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">It would be
helpful if you could share any experiences you’ve had working with Scientists,
globally or nationally. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Which
sectors? Themes? Context? Hurdles? How did it go overall? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Any and all
insights appreciated. Will send you buckets of smiles and sunshine from Florida
in return. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
