 The Future of Research Symposium (futureofresearch.org) is a
postdoc-organized meeting on October 2-3rd on the Boston University campus.
We will focus on factors shifting the landscape of scientific research:
tight budgets, evolving models of both publishing and evaluation, and
questions about training and workforce stability. Talks and panel
discussions

will
be followed by highly interactive workshops designed to give students and
postdocs a voice in the ongoing dialog about policies that shape our
scientific future. After the symposium, we will generate a consensus
opinion to be published and circulated to administrators, journals, and
policy-makers.
