What
is Science2004?
Science2004: No Boundaries is the University of Pittsburgh's fourth annual
broad-based regional celebration of local science and technology. It is
scheduled for October 6-8 in Alumni Hall (formerly the Masonic Temple)
on Pitt's Oakland campus.
What
is the purpose of this event?
We want to showcase the region's academic strengths in science, engineering,
medicine, and computation and highlight some of the incredible research
going on in these areas. We also want to demonstrate how this research
can be a catalyst for regional economic development; foster collaboration
among academic and industrial scientists; and promote the idea to the
public that science can be interesting, exciting, and fun.
Highlights will include symposium sessions on "hot" research topics; keynote lectures by some of America's premier scientists; a showcase of new technology available for licensing; informational exhibits; networking opportunities; social events; and more.
Who
is the target audience for Science2004?
All Science2004 events are free and open to the public, but we especially
promote them to faculty, students, postdoctoral fellows, and research
associates from local colleges and universities; representatives of
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, information technology, scientific equipment,
and related industries; leaders in economic development and philanthropy;
representatives of law firms, financial firms, and venture capitalists;
and secondary school science teachers.
