The Inaugural CICOES Symposium

June 13-14, 2023

Come one, come all! We are encouraging a community wide turnout to share our science, meet potential NOAA and academic collaborators, initiate new projects, and have a bit of fun. There will be participation from NOAA headquarters and local leadership teams, as well as research scientists, faculty, postdocs, and graduate students from all three partner universities.

To incentivize new collaborative research, our Research Development Grants and Postdoctoral Scholar initiative funds in 2024 will support project ideas generated at the symposium.

The two-day event will take place in the Foege Genome Science Building on UW campus (PDF with map and addresses). Presentations will be organized in three themes: climate, oceans, and ecosystems. There will be limited featured talks (12 min) and rapid talks (3 min) with optional poster sessions during breaks and lunch.
