 WORKSHOP DETAILS

Workshops provide presenters  the opportunity to present original work related to conference topics.  The SciTS Program Committee invites submissions from individuals or groups to conduct Special Interest Workshops and Seminars.  Workshops/Sessions will be 3 hours in length.  All topics relevant to the application of Science of Team Science approaches are welcomed, specifically with respect to training sessions that will equip SciTS investigators with tools and technical skills for data collection, analysis, or presentation in their research areas. Workshop/seminar proposals that incorporate a variety of instructional approaches (e.g. lecture, interactive discussion, hands-on exercises) and materials (e.g. slides, handouts, sample data) are strongly encouraged.  We encourage workshops or seminars with a focus on methodologies including systems approaches to the field of SciTS as well as methodologies for conducting evaluation and understanding team dynamics.  Furthermore, we welcome workshops and seminars that provide practical guidance for conducting and managing team science in a variety of contexts and settings, and workshops with a focus on developing team science educational and training resources.                                                        

Proposals should be limited to 1000 words (not including biographical sketches) and include the following information:

  • Proposed title and organizers (names, affiliations, email; identify one primary contact person)
  • Description of workshop: objectives (at least 3), goals, and expected outcomes
  • Statement regarding how the workshop can benefit SciTS attendees/community
  • Description of target audience and estimated number of participants (minimum and maximum)
  • Proposed workshop format, activities, and schedule
  • Any special A/V needs
  • Short biographical sketch for each presenter, describing relevant experience and qualifications (not included in page limit)
