Monthly Center Meetings

Center meetings are held once a month in room 548 at Hamilton Hall from 12:30-2pm. In 2024, meetings will be held on the second Monday of each month.  

These meetings bring together members from diverse disciplines to share research findings, foster collaboration, and discuss the Center's business. These gatherings include short talks by Project Leaders, networking opportunities, and panels on emerging research ideas and challenges. Open to all interested attendees, the meetings encourage both members and non-members to engage with the Center, promoting team science and expanding interdisciplinary collaborations.
