Call for Proposals: Dupont Summit on Science, Technology and Environmental Policy

Colleagues, I received this in the email last week. PSO is a very interesting--and very interdisciplinary--organization. You and your students may find this opportunity interesting.


Call for Proposals: Dupont Summit on Science, Technology and Environmental Policy
The Policy Studies Organization (PSO) invites you to submit a proposal for the 2012 Dupont Summit focused on science, technology and environmental policy issues. The Summit will be held at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC on Friday, December 7, 2012. The purpose of the conference is to promote dialogue about current policy concerns and to provide a civil space for discussion across the political spectrum.  The format will include panel discussions along with some individual presentations.  You are welcomed to submit a topic proposal or a proposal that includes others beside yourself for a panel.  

We encourage proposals to be sent in before our early deadline of May 1, 2012 for priority consideration to PSO executive director Daniel Gutierrez-Sandoval at dgutierrezs@ipsonet.org.  Proposals will continue to be accepted after May 1st until September 30, 2012, the final deadline.  For more information, visit our website.

The Policy Studies Organization publishes 11 academic journals and 3 book series. We promote discussion of policy concerns and further research and dissemination of policy scholarship.

Please contact me with any questions.

Regards,
