Thank you so much for proposing this, I think this would be well worth organising! It’s an opportune moment as well to set some basic expectations.
With other communities I’ve experienced that as they mature they can develop a greater resistance against outside researchers, often as a result of bad experiences. Maybe there’s an opportunity to articulate early what a healthy researcher/community relationship can look like. I’ve some experiences from this and other communities I can share. (I also sent you an email off-list.) m. > On 22 Mar 2015, at 21:48, Robert Soden <robert.so...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm thinking about submitting a panel proposal for the HOT Summit on academic > partnerships with HOT.
