About the Summer Policy Colloquium

What is it?

The AMS Summer Policy Colloquium brings a select group to Washington, D.C. for an intense, ten-day immersion in atmospheric policy. The Colloquium:

• Provides an overview of policy basics, and how decisions are made governing
  thecourse and future of atmospheric
  science
• Provides opportunities for participants to meet and dialog with the federal officials, Congressional staffers, and others who make those decisions
• Surveys current atmospheric policy issues
• Uses the case study method to
  explore a limited number of issues, both past and present, in depth and detail
• Helps participants build skills, experience, and contacts they can use throughout their careers to understand and influence the atmospheric policy process
• Helps participants gauge their aptitude for and interest in the challenges of matching atmospheric science to national priorities, and scientific program leadership.

Who can attend? Participants include:

• mid-level federal managers and scientists
• mid-level private-sector executives
• university faculty
• selected graduate students of demonstrated scientific and leadership potential
