In: /

While the biennial CRA Conference at Snowbird will be postponed to next summer, we will be holding an online meeting this summer on Wednesday, July 22nd, and Thursday, July 23rd.  The conference will run each day from approximately 8:30 AM Pacific/11:30 AM Eastern to 2:00 PM Pacific/5:00 PM Eastern.  A detailed schedule and registration information will be forthcoming, but here are some of the events that are planned:

  • NSF CISE Assistant Director Margaret Martonosi and CRA Director of Government Affairs Peter Harsha will give plenary talks with opportunities for participants to contribute questions and comments.
  • There will be four panel sessions on Challenges in the time of COVID, including sessions on teaching, research and collaboration, mentoring students and colleagues, and challenges for chairs.
  • There will be two interactive sessions on CRA’s Strategic Planning process.

As is traditional, each CRA member representative will receive an invitation to this meeting.  For more information contact VirtualConference@cra.org. Please save the date, and we look forward to seeing you online!

Sincerely,

Ran Libeskind-Hadas – Chair
