LTERs have long prioritized the societal benefits of co-produced science that engages scientists from academia, public agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other public and private sectors. The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network is a consortium of federal and non-federal partners that work together to support informed resource stewardship. The goals of this workshop are to: (1) examine synergies between LTER programs and CESU hubs, as well as other federal agency partnerships and networks, (2) provide examples of LTER-CESU (and other federal agency) partnerships that have enhanced actionable long-term science, and (3) recommend pathways for future LTER-CESU network-to-network collaborations that contribute to career advancement of early-career scientists. Outcomes may include a special journal issue showcasing the products of LTER-federal agency partnerships. Student engagement is desired, and leadership opportunities will be provided.
