IRP SUMMER RESEARCH WORKSHOP |
|
The Summer Research Workshop is a working meeting, therefore, attendance at most of the sessions is by invitation only; however, there are five keynote talks that are free and open to the public (see below). Admittance to a closed session is occasionally granted, but requests are treated on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Coreen Williams at cwilliam@ssc.wisc.edu for more information. Many of the 20th Annual Summer Research Workshop presentations will be summarized in the fall 2010 issue of Focus, IRP’s broad-audience newsletter, and will be available on IRP’s Web site at http://www.irp.wisc.edu/publications/focus.htm. |
