Summer Workshop ProposalsProposal InstructionsThe primary goal of the
Aspen Center for Physics is to nurture
cutting-edge research in physics and
related disciplines by providing a unique
physical and scientific environment
ideally suited for stimulating
interactions, collaborations and
innovation. The summer workshops are
designed to maximize informal interactions
within areas of physics as well as
cross-fertilization between areas. They
span a wide range of physics topics, with
two or three workshops running
concurrently.
The Center invites proposals from the physics community and from researchers in closely related disciplines. Typically, more proposals for ACP summer workshops are submitted than can be accommodated in a given year (typically, about 12 workshops are held each summer). The ACP Summer Program Committee evaluates workshop Letters of Intent and Proposals and recommends a program of workshops to the ACP Members. The aim is to have an exciting, balanced, cross-cutting program that will attract a diverse group of outstanding researchers to come together for free and respectful discussion of the most important unsolved problems, to explore creative ideas, and to continue or forge new collaborations. Letter of Intent
If you are interested in submitting a
summer workshop proposal, we request that
you send a brief Letter of Intent by May
15 using the online link
below. The designated contact
person should be the organizer who submits
the Letter of Intent. The LOI should
contain the title of the workshop, the
name of at least one organizer, their
affiliations and email addresses. In
addition it should contain a brief
description of the workshop, together with
an indication of the current interest and
importance of field. If there have been
previous ACP workshops on this or related
topics in the recent past, it would be
helpful to note those. Also please explain
why your proposed workshop would be
timely, given developments in your field
and the past history of workshops in the
center. |
