NAAEE’s annual Research Symposium brings together new and experienced researchers from around the globe to explore the current state and future directions of environmental education research and advance the use of practices proven to be effective. The symposium facilitates discussion about research in progress, fosters dialog about research-community partnerships, and provides opportunities for emerging as well as seasoned researchers to develop and expand their research skills. 

The keynote events and concurrent sessions of the 2018 Research Symposium are organized around three themes:

- New Horizons in EE Research: Explore ideas and challenge of the age that might inspire and drive the next generation of EE research. 
- Intergenerational Conversations: Focus on new opportunities and challenge for researchers, research, and the Research Symposium, using an intergenerational conversation format. 
- Stories from Research: Discuss works in progress, the stories behind research, and how what we have learned might guide or prepare us for future research.

In addition, there will be opportunities to meet with colleagues and mentors to discuss publishing and career advice, issues and concerns in the world of research, next steps for the Research Symposium, and how to hack #enviroed, among other topics.
