NEON Coordination and Implementation Conference Part 2

Part 2 of the NEON Coordination and Implementation Conference provides an open forum for the scientific community to discuss how to form, manage, and govern NEON. This session of the conference follows up on Part 1 during which members of the IBRCS Working Group, other NEON stakeholders, and experts in the formation and management of large scientific networks, facilities, and organizations convened for similar discussions.
