Details

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 the course 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; and helps participants gauge their aptitude for and interest in the challenges of matching atmospheric science to national priorities, and scientific program leadership.
