The Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Climate Change
Research (DISCCRS; pronounced "discourse") targets recent Ph.D.
graduates to encourage international, interdisciplinary understanding
and collaborations across the natural and social sciences, humanities,
mathematics, engineering, and other disciplines related to climate
change and its impacts.
Recent PhD graduates from any discipline related to climate change and
impacts are invited to participate in the DISCCRS initiative and apply
to participate in the DISCCRS III symposium. The symposium will be held
10-17 September 2007 in Kilauea, Hawaii.
The symposium will provide a venue where recent PhD graduates can share
insights across disciplines and forge interdisciplinary collegial
relationships with their peers. In addition to presentations on
participant research, the symposium will include sessions on NSF
programs and funding opportunities, strategies for collaborating across
disciplines in the context of developing an interdisciplinary research
proposal, and techniques for communicating with non-specialist
audiences.
Thirty-six recent PhD graduates will be competitively selected to
participate in the week long event. Funding for airfare, lodging, and
meals will be provided.
