Proposal Best Practices
AGU encourages proposals that incorporate:
- When we think about improving inclusive science practices, it includes not only race, geographic region, ethnicity and gender but also opinion, age and scientific discipline.
- Include a diverse group of conveners, session chairs and invited authors.
To find conveners and invited authors with varied knowledge and experiences, we recommend utilizing your community networks and the resources below. These lists are merely starting points since they are not comprehensive resources and only include scientists who agree to have their names included.
- Broaden participation across a range of scientific disciplines.
- Strengthen the next generation of scientists.
It’s the story of our journey; we create what’s next. What’s next for our community. What’s next for discoveries. What’s next for our planet. What’s Next for Science.
Relate your proposal to AGU24’s theme of What’s Next for Science specifically:
- Making Earth and space data and scientific advancement more accessible, interoperable, and impactful.
- Expanding scientific collaborations across disciplines and geographic barriers in the Earth and space sciences and beyond.
- How Earth and space scientists can be leaders in the preservation, sharing, and attribution of datasets and software ensuring proper credit and driving innovation.
Conveners are encouraged to submit proposals that are collaborative.
- Consider a session that could be cross-listed, co-organized and/or co-sponsored with another organization.
- Use our flowchart to decide if a collaborative session makes sense for your proposal.
