December 3, 2002 CENTER FOR ADVANCED STUDIES WORKSHOP SET FOR DEC. 12 AND 13 The annual University of New Mexico Center for Advanced Studies (CAS)
workshop is set for Thursday and Friday, Dec. 12 and 13 at Regener Hall
on the UNM campus. The workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Dec. 12 and 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 13. The workshop showcases the research accomplishments of CAS members and
their research staff, students and collaborators. Individuals interested in participating are encouraged to submit and
abstract for presentation at the workshop by Friday, Dec. 6. The abstract
should be an informative summary of the presentation that should be prepared
for a broad scientific audience. The duration of each talk will depend on the number of talks, but will
likely be between 20-30 minutes. In the event there are more submissions
than what can be accommodated in the time available, 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
are also of interest to its mission. 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. For more information contact Alex Dickerson at 277-8602 or see: http://panda.unm.edu/CAS/2002_CAS_Workshop_Announcement.html. ###
