TASSA 2012 Annual Conference

Please mark your calendars to attend the TASSA 2012 Annual Conference at the University of Maryland at College Park on March 3-4, 2012

TASSA Conferences have the objective to establish a forum and create a dynamic platform for many young and experienced American, Turkish, and Turkish-American scientists and scholars to explore and develop new collaborative initiatives. Panel discussion and presentations aim to strengthen and enhance the scientific and technological cooperation between the United States and Turkey.

The TASSA 2012 annual conference will be a two-day event aimed at a diverse audience from life sciences, social sciences, engineering, medicine, policy & law, and literature & art.  The conference provides an opportunity to discuss recent developments and innovative practices in these fields and presents an opportunity to network with colleagues in academia, business, and government.

The conference also presents an opportunity for graduate students and those who seek employment in the United States and Turkey to meet with representatives from higher education and industry and explore opportunities available in these institutions.
