DISCCRS II Symposium March 26 - April 2, 2006 Asilomar Conference
Center Pacific Grove, CA
Register now to become part of the DISCCRS network and receive the
DISCCRS newsletter.
Graduates from a wide array of backgrounds must all work together
to address global climate-change issues, yet it can take years to
gain the necessary collegial networks and experience. DISCCRS, an
initiative funded by NSF and NASA, seeks to jump-start the process.
An electronic newsletter and web-based resources make the DISCCRS
program accessible to a global audience. A unique feature is the
on-line Ph.D. Dissertation Registry, which introduces graduates
to a world-wide community and provides a concise overview of current
work. Graduates from all disciplines and countries are encouraged
to register their Ph.D. dissertation abstract using the convenient
on-line form at http://aslo.org/forms/phdform.html. Annual symposia
will bring together 36 new scholars from the natural and social
sciences, humanities, mathematics, engineering and other fields
to foster collegial networking, understanding across disciplinary,
institutional and geographic boundaries, and early-career development.
Participants will present their research in plenary sessions. Established
interdisciplinary professionals will be on hand to share their perspectives.
Consultants will teach participants to communicate across disciplines
and with a non-specialist audience. Representatives of Federal agencies
will describe programs and funding opportunities. Time will be provided
for informal interactions as well. Recent Ph.D. Graduates from all
countries and disciplines are invited to join the DISCCRS Program
and apply to be a DISCCRS Symposium Fellow. Graduates completing
Ph.D. requirements between Oct. 1, 2002 - Sept. 30, 2005 are eligible
to apply for the DISCCRS II Symposium. Symposium application deadliine
is October 2, 2005. Support for symposium travel and on-site expenses
will be provided for selected applicants. *DISCCRS: Dissertations
