Symposium

The Symposium mechanism provides a particularly exciting function. A targeted topic relevant to the mission of the Schmitt Program will be addressed during a one-day session by two to four visiting scientists, in combination with additional contributors from our local faculty. A useful sample schedule would include a Thursday PM - Saturday-AM visit, with presentations over the course of the day on Friday, culminating in a banquet-dinner that evening.

Suggestions should be discussed with members of the Executive and Review Committees in advance of submitting a proposal (~2 pages) outlining the topic, its relevance, proposed visiting scientists (including a rationale for the selections and their contributions to the meeting), and a tentative meeting plan with budget estimate (under $10K). Applications are accpeted year-round.
