Knowledge Map Form

From Common Energy UVic

To help facilitate discussion, Common Energy is working to establish an online knowledge map of research currently being conducted, and projects underway, at UVic. The aim is to inform those involved in Common Energy and others of research already being done and actions already being taken, and to draw connections between researchers, all in a consistent, easy to access format. This project arose in part from discussions at the "Connecting on Climate Change" forum, in which people expressed a desire to learn what is already going on at the university to do with climate change.

We know you are very busy, but this information will be very useful for the Common Energy network. Please take the time to submit, via email info@commonenergy.org, the requested information. Common Energy volunteers will then transcribe what you provide onto the Common Energy website in a consistent, accessible format. Please use as little formatting as possible when filling out information, as it will save volunteers precious time.

Here is an example of a completed form.

If you are feeling energetic, try creating your own knowledge map page, but remember to use the same format as those already in place.
