An electronic newsletter and web-based resources make the DISCCRS program accessible to a global audience. A unique feature is the on-line Ph.D. Dissertation Registry, which introduces graduates to a world-wide community and provides a concise overview of current work. Graduates from all disciplines and countries are encouraged to register their Ph.D. dissertation abstract using the convenient on-line form at http://aslo.org/forms/phdform.html.
Annual symposia will bring together 36 new scholars from the natural and social sciences, humanities, mathematics, engineering and other fields to foster collegial networking, understanding across disciplinary, institutional and geographic boundaries, and early-career development. Participants will present their research in plenary sessions. Established interdisciplinary professionals will be on hand to share their perspectives. Consultants will teach participants to communicate across disciplines and with a non-specialist audience. Representatives of Federal agencies will describe programs and funding opportunities. Time will be provided for informal interactions as well.
