OASIS is a unified digital hub centralizing critical resources and collaboration tools, making it easier for Environmental Data Science teams to access information and work together seamlessly. We invested in building OASIS to streamline workflows and drive efficiency by integrating diverse systems into a single, user-friendly platform that supports data-driven decision-making.The platform was developed to future-proof our operations, ensuring scalability and adaptability as our organizational needs evolve.

Open Analysis and Synthesis Infrastructure for Science (OASIS)
Using research-based best practices to facilitate collaboration within the center
The Science of Team Science
We develop processes and procedures based on proven practices that reduce implicit and explicit biases, break down barriers, empower diverse teams, and enable safe meetings, training opportunities, and workshops.
Incorporating evaluation throughout ESIIL’s journey
Evaluation
The ESIIL Evaluation Team engages in Collaborative Evaluation activities involving ESIIL leadership, subteams, and advisory board members (King and Stevahn, 2013; Shulha et al., 2016). These activities contribute to the iterative development and improvement of the synthesis center, the ESIIL community, and all ESIIL activities.
Open communication, iterative feedback and recommendations from the evaluation team support the continual growth of the center.
