Description
A one-day meeting 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.
