Since their inception in the 1980s, the triennial LTER All Scientists Meeting (ASM) has helped connect, inspire, and strengthen the LTER network. With 28 sites and all LTER roles meeting together in formal and informal sessions, the ASMs generate new projects, friendships, and scientific collaborations that often last for decades.

Due to COVID 19 restrictions the planned 2021 All Scientists Meeting has been postponed until 2022. Follow the website meeting page or the LTERHub topic for updates.
