OSA Incubator Meetings
The OSA recently initiated this new form of meeting to provide unique and focused experiences, allowing researchers of niche fields a valuable opportunity to meet and discuss advances, challenges and opportunities regarding their research. This new forum is being developed under the leadership of Jannick Rolland, University of Rochester, USA and OSA Director at Large.
OSA Incubator meetings:
- Target emerging topics and fields
- Function to further the interest and support of promising topic areas, assessing the broader implications of the topic for future research and application and exploring possibilities for greater inclusion and propagation of the topic
- Encourage extensive formal and informal discussion while establishing a sense of community
- Offer a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual channels of communication – publications and presentations at large scientific meetings.
