Now accepting abstracts from FIR alumni and TA’s from all classes!

You are invited to rediscover Woods Hole this June for our annual reunion symposium weekend at the MBL. The symposium is a reunion meeting for all classes and teaching assistants—please plan to join us! We are proud to claim among our ranks more than 200 leading young researchers and practitioners from around the globe. Our symposium provides you world-class networking opportunities with former classmates, FIR faculty members, distinguished guest investigators, and with “FIRbees” from twelve other classes.
 
Highlights: We will be announcing the 2011 Beacon Awardee(s) as well as the 2011 Pioneer Award and 2011 Mike McClure Lecturer soon!

Travel reimbursements and free lodging for FIRbees: Returning FIR alumni & TA’s will be provided complementary lodging at a local hotel, and are also eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses. We typically reimburse full travel costs for those accepted as presenters, and funding priority is provided to those selected to make presentations. Preference is given to those presenting outstanding science, those presenting new topics, to first time presenters, and those who have not attended recent symposiums. These decisions are made based on a review of submitted abstracts. Please see the Travel Reimbursement section for details.

The symposium program is available and will be updated as speakers and other details are determined.
