9th Annual Symposium for Research Administrators
Thursday November 7th, 2024 - Union South
Page Updated: September 19, 2024
The Symposium for Research Administrators is an exciting opportunity to establish connections and expand the knowledge of research administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This year, symposium attendees will be offered a variety of in-person concurrent sessions to choose from depending on their interests. We will also hold discussion groups and roundtables to dive more deeply into research administration topics. Throughout the day we will touch on issues that involve multiple stages of the award life cycle. The Symposium aims to strengthen collaboration through shared learning experiences and conversation. We hope you enjoy the variety of topics, speakers, and networking opportunities!
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Gregg Sanford is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As an agroecologist and soil scientist, his research focuses on diverse agricultural systems and the impact that long-term management choices in such systems have on ecosystem services such as yield, soil health, soil organic carbon, and other system performance metrics like profitability. Much of Dr. Sanford’s research is directed toward the role agroecosystems can play in climate change adaptation by building stable and resilient agricultural landscapes, as well as the critical role such landscapes have in mitigating rising levels of anthropogenic greenhouse gases via the stabilization and accrual of organic carbon in soils.
