The DISCCRS Symposium catalyzes interdisciplinary understanding
and peer networking among recent PhDs across the full range of
disciplines relevant to the understanding of climate change and its
impacts. During the weeklong event:
* Participants will present their research to an
     international, interdisciplinary audience of peers
* Working Groups will discuss emerging research,
     professional and societal issues
* Leadership consultants will provide training in
     communication skills
* A nucleus of established research scientists will share
    perspectives on interdisciplinary career development
* Funding-agency representatives will describe programs

The first symposium in what we hope will be a biennial series will occur:
                                   March 10-15, 2003
                         Copamarina Resort, Puerto Rico.
                         APPLICATION DEADLINE is
                                     October 6, 2002
