Science of Team Science conference – April 16-19 – Chicago

SciTS Conference 2012 Registration Now Open!
3rd Annual International SciTS Conference
April 16-19, 2012
at the Wyndham Chicago

~ Registration and Call for Poster Abstracts now open ~

The Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference is a forum to enhance our understanding of how best to engage in team science to meet society’s needs. The SciTS Conference serves: as a point of convergence for investigators studying science teams and team science leaders/practitioners; to engage funding agencies to provide guidance on developing and managing team science initiatives; and to afford data providers and analytics developers insight into collaboration tracking and analysis needs. In this way, the SciTS Conference acts as a bridge between the science of team science and the praxis of team science, an important conduit for translating empirical findings about team science into evidence-based effective practices for scientific teams and funders of team science. Click HERE to access the SciTS Conference home page.

The 3rd Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference will be held April 16-19, 2012 in Chicago at the Wyndham Chicago.  General Conference sessions run April 16-18 and Workshops are on April 16 and April 18.  Click HERE for complete registration and fee information; Early Bird registration ends February 12!
