The Environmental Research Collaboration Series is a monthly lunch series hosted by the WashU Center for the Environment. The goals of the series are to build community among researchers, learn about one another’s work, share tools, and generate ideas for future collaboration. These gatherings showcase different aspects of environmental research happening in the WashU community.

Attend the Series

Collaboration Series lunches are open to WashU faculty members and staff researchers.
Lunches in Spring 2025 will be held on the first Wednesday of each month (Feb-May) 11:30AM-12:30PM.
