DISCCRS Overview:
       DISCCRS (pronounced "discourse") targets recent Ph.D. graduates to
catalyze international, interdisciplinary understanding and
collaborations across the natural and social sciences, humanities.
mathematics, engineering and other disciplines related to climate change
and its impacts.
       Funding from NSF supports symposium participant costs,
the http://disccrs.org website and an electronic newsletter. Symposia
are currently funded for 2007 and 2008.
       Recent Ph.D. graduates from all disciplines and countries are
invited to join the DISCCRS network and apply to be a DISCCRS
symposium scholar.

DISCCRS III Symposium:
       Thirty-six recent Ph.D. graduates will be competitively selected to
present their research in both oral and poster format and participate in
the week-long symposium. Four scholars will be invited to serve as
mentors for the group, and Stanford Professor Stephen H. Schneider has
recently assented to serving as one of the mentors. A representative
from the U.S. National Science Foundation will be invited to describe
programs and funding opportunities. Strategies for collaborating across
disciplines will be introduced and practiced in the context of
developing an interdisciplinary research proposal. Techniques for
communicating with non-specialist audiences will also be addressed.
