GA schedule
During the afternoon of July 3 - at the meeting of the CHEMRAWN
committee and on July 4 at the joint meeting of the CHEMRAWN and COCI
committees we will continue discussions of the issues that have been
raised and discussed at the "mini-CHEMRAWNs" in Budapest, Washington,
and Honolulu.
These issues include:
- Industry expectations seem to differ country to country; are
the differences real?
- Can an education in one part of the world be used in another?
(Issue for developing countries?)
- Does graduate education need to be tailored for those going
into industrial research?
- How does industry make its needs known?
- Can the time to a degree be "contained"?
- How do universities instill the desire for continual learning?
Members of the CHEMRAWN, COCI, and CTC committees, plus others
who may be interested, are invited to give a 10-15 minute presentation
addressing one or more of these issues (or introducing a new related
issue).
Background reading and abstracts of papers presented at the
"mini-CHEMRAWNs" are now available:
> Budapest, 6 Aug 2000 (pdf file -
80KB)
> Washington DC, 22 Aug 22 2000 (pdf

Participants are also invited to be part of the Future Actions
panel which will discuss perspectives and recommendations during
the July 4 session. Please let the chairman of the CHEMRAWN committee

know of your intentions to make a presentation and/or be on the Future
Actions panel.
