The goal of GeoCoW is to develop soft skills, such as collaborative work and interdisciplinarity among young scientists.
GeoCoW is a collaborative workshop where young researchers work in small groups on interdisciplinary topics. Established scientists (see the speakers list below) will propose research topics that would beneficiate from a mathematical insight.
The workshop will also feature:
- An advanced minicourse by Prof. John Baez.
- A poster session.
- A workshop dinner.
- Outoor activities.
Speakers and their topics:
