*What is the collaborators’ network at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Center?*
The GLBRC collaborators’ network will make the center’s sciences available to businesses and organizations involved in biofuels research, development and utilization. Members are chosen for their technical role in a particular biofuels niche. The executive director of the center, Kenneth Keegstra, will be responsible for recruitment of members and communicating between the network and the center’s researchers.
*What is the GLBRC’s scientific advisory board?*
This is a group of distinguished scientists who will provide external guidance on the past and future activities of the GLBRC. These individuals will provide objective strategic and technical oversight to both focus the research agenda and align center’s priorities with those of our stakeholders. Timothy Donohue, scientific director, will recruit and manage this body.
*How will I learn of innovations resulting from the work of the GLBRC?*
Once the center is up and running, the GLBRC plans to bring bioenergy concepts to people of different scientific expertise. Staff will work through an outreach and education office set up in the GLBRC to communicate scientific results and innovations. Results will be communicated in scientific journals and other scientific and popular press outlets. GLBRC staff will also provide programs on bioenergy concepts for K-12 teachers and students, museums and other public venues.
