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

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

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
