Program

Program

The program consists of several sessions designed to help new researchers navigate an international conference. Fellows are first introduced to each other and provided with information on "how to conference" in a virtual session the week before RSS. They are also encouraged to connect via Zoom with their assigned mentor. During the conference, students have a welcome breakfast and panel session on the morning of the first workshop day, to help them integrate into the conference activities. Finally, students are again encouraged to meet with their mentor (either in person, if the mentor is at RSS, or virtually if they are not) to check in.
