U.S. Study Abroad Initiative

chaired by Prof. Homer A. Neal
Monday, 1 June 2009 from to (Europe/Zurich)
at Center for Strategic & International Studies ( B1C )
1800 K St. NW Washington DC 20006, USA
Description 
A one-day meeting sponsored by the University of Michigan and the Lounsbery Foundation focusing on the feasibility of creating a U.S. LHC Study Abroad Program in Geneva.   Though the Meeting will focus on the specific case of undergraduate student research participation in the Large Hadron Collider Program in Geneva, the issues involved pertain much more broadly to overall U.S. national science policy, as more and more frontier research facilities are being located beyond the borders of the United States.
