6th Annual IIES Science & Policy Workshop | Online

This year we have adjusted our annual workshop format to ensure the safety of our participants. We are pleased to offer a versatile, innovative virtual workshop, held on January 22-23, 2021.

The meeting will include a mix of pre-recorded, on-demand presentations, and live sessions to accommodate various time zones. The program offers a series of two-hour sessions that highlight dynamic live plenary speakers and discussion sessions exploring research at participating institutions within the IIES community.

SESSIONS

Each day will offer two to three half-hour sessions, chaired by a faculty member from an IIES member institution. The chairs have organized their sessions thematically around a series of talks showcasing their institution’s research.

FORMAT

The 6th Annual Workshop has a unique website this year and acts as the landing page for our participants. It includes the workshop schedule, abstracts, and all pre-recorded talks. The website is now available at www.IIESWorkshops.com. 

Plenary talks will be live and held via ZOOM on January 22 and 23, followed by the Workshops Sessions. Presenters will share a brief overview of their longer pre-recorded talks, which participants will have viewed on their own time via the workshop website.

Following the short talks will be a live 15-minute discussion period, open to all. Participants may “raise their hand” or ask questions via chat.

Pre-recorded talks will be available for viewing from January 8, 2021, onward.
