About JOPRO
What paradigms and inertia bottleneck the future, and how do we support change-makers as they endeavor to build on-ramps to better futures?
JOPRO offers coordination, support, and strategy for a growing collection of research working groups, mentoring cohorts, and partnerships. We act across interdisciplinary & undisciplinary arenas, collaborating on dozens of projects.
Our Mission
At JOPRO, we coordinate and support research groups and investigators as they bridge the present with a future full of possibilities. Our mission is to foster silo-breaking research and professional development that addresses today's challenges and crafts on-ramps to opportunities.
Our Vision
We envision a world where interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative research are better attuned to exploring and representing all possibility spaces, rather than only the most conventional paths. By nurturing early-career researchers and promoting open science principles, we aim to create a more informed, connected, and empowered community.
