Collaborating on data-driven projects, Michigan Eco Data is a new vibrant organization at the University of Michigan that works on creating data-driven and multidisciplinary solutions to ecological issues. Our philosophy as an organization is oriented towards identifying gaps in knowledge in order to enact change that benefits the ecological well-being of communities and ecosystems. Eco Data members work in small groups and work as a team to accomplish project goals. We foster an incredibly open environment, where members from a variety of disciplines can come together to work on project teams or start their own.
