Call for Session Proposals: Due May 15

The Translational Data Analytics Institute and the Sustainability Institute are seeking session proposals for the 2023 Interdisciplinary Research Fall Forum, to be held November 8-9 in Pomerene Hall. Session proposals are due Monday, May 15. 

Topics: The theme of this year’s forum is Computational Approaches for a Just & Sustainable World, with sessions focused on three subtopics: 1) Computational Approaches; 2) Resilience and Sustainability; and, 3) Equity and Justice. We welcome proposals from a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives, with preference for proposals that integrate computational approaches with the other subtopics.

Session formats: Sessions can take the format of a 90-minute workshop, or a 60-minute panel discussion that is followed by 20 minutes for Q&A and discussion.

Budget: Speakers and presenters from Ohio State will receive a letter of acknowledge for their service. Non-OSU speakers will receive honoraria of $250 (for speakers from central Ohio or participating via Zoom), $500 (for speakers from Ohio who are not local), or $1,250 (for speakers traveling from outside Ohio). The maximum budget per session is $1,500.
