Complementing the discussions at the NSF S&CC visioning workshops on the East Coast and West coast in September 2015 and January 2016, respectively, as well as the NSF/USDA-NIFA workshop on urban-rural sustainability in Washington DC in December 2016, we are building upon and delving deeper into the topics discussed as well as bring up new frontiers for exploration. The program agenda will be refined through discussions with the Program Committee up until July 2017 (finalized one month before workshop date). Presentations will be selected by the Program Committee and some of them informed by position papers from the community.

Recommendations for workshop discussion topics or volunteering for presentation is welcomed!
