Partners help Thriving Earth Exchange connect community leaders and scientists use science to advance community priorities. We reach new communities through community-focused partners. Science-focused partners help us continually expand the types of scientists that engage in Thriving Earth Exchange projects.
Thriving Earth Exchange works with organizations of all sizes – from grassroots local groups to international professional organizations. We work with informal organizations, governments and government associations, and professional societies. We work with varying levels of formality: Thriving Earth Exchange partnerships can be initiated via MOUs or simply by rolling up our sleeves and getting started.
To explore partnering with Thriving Earth Exchange, please reach out to us directly.
