The workshop
showcases the research accomplishments of CAS members and their
research staff, students and collaborators.

of each talk will depend on the number of presenters, but will
likely be about 20-30 minutes. In the event there are more submissions
than can be accommodated, presenters will have the option of
providing a poster presentation.
CAS is
a center of the College of Arts and Sciences at UNM with a mission
to foster interdisciplinary research activities and interdepartmental
collaborations in the college, and to enhance the international
position of the University. The primary thrust of CAS is research
in the sciences, but education as an activity and engineering
and humanities as fields.
Activities
include arranging workshops, inviting and hosting visiting researchers
from all over the world to UNM for short periods, and promoting
initiatives that create and support collaborations among participating
science departments. The underlying goal is to assist in the
advancement of research in fields which have the potential to
build bridges across disciplines.
