Science Without Borders
The Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is the most important general science venue for a growing segment of scientists and engineers who are interested in the latest advances as well as multidisciplinary topics and the influence of science and technology on how we live today. Thousands of leading scientists, engineers, educators, and policy-makers interact with one another and with hundreds of members from national and international media. In fact, the growing number of international attendees attests to the growing international nature of this gathering. More than 150 sessions spread across about a dozen tracks are usually presented at the Annual Meeting.
The online submission site for symposium proposals is now open. You will receive updates only about the 2011 meeting. The deadline for submission is Tuesday, 27 April 2010, 11:59 p.m. PT. Decisions will be announced in July.
