The Fourth Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference will be held June 24-27, 2013 in Evanston, IL at Northwestern University on the shores of Lake Michigan. The SciTS Conference is designed to bridge the science and praxis of scientific collaboration.
Special Call for Rapid Communication Poster Abstract Submissions
The SciTS conference planning committee is pleased to invite a new and innovative form of Rapid Communication Poster abstract submissions for review. Accepted abstracts will appear during the Research Poster Session on the evening of June 24. The Rapid Communication Poster submission allows authors the opportunity to present late-breaking and/or newly emerging findings or approaches in the field of team science that may have emerged after the deadline for submission of research abstracts.
