Who should attend?
Master’s or doctoral students interested in learning how decisions about science and innovation funding, regulation and policy are made. Graduate students interested in careers in science policy should take this excellent opportunity to learn about important fellowships and meet current science and innovation policy professionals. Students with an interest in starting their own business, working for a start-up or taking an invention out of the lab, will see this as an excellent opportunity to learn about the diversity of roles and responsibilities that shape innovation.
Students interested in earning credit should sign up for HSD 594: Urban Innovation, a one-credit workshop course. Enrollment in the course is optional. All participants will pay a $500 program fee.
Science Outside the Lab brings a small cohort of graduate scientists and engineers into a participatory learning environment, allowing participants extensive access to speakers and educational opportunities. The goal is to expose as many different viewpoints as possible, and to help each other understand how people and institutions influence and learn from science.
