RESEARCH THEMES
This workshop has grown out of a series of informal annual meetings
sponsored by INSTAAR and other academic institutions worldwide. In
keeping with this tradition, there are no formalized topics, and the
workshop is organized around themes developed from the abstracts
submitted for presentation. However, organizers can accommodate specific
themes and arrange small group meetings. Please identify any special
topics or needs by e-mailing Tad Pfeffer at pfeffer [at] tintin.colorado.edu.
SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS
Student participation is a vital component of this workshop. A limited
number of graduate student presenters will receive free registration and
reimbursement for meals and hotel.
