Panels of scholars, defense policy makers, and military operations personnel will meet throughout the two-day conference, reporting on on-going research and reflecting on the impact of the Minerva Initiative on social science fields as well as its potential contribution toward developing a better understanding of the social, political, and cultural context of strategically important regions of the world.
During the afternoon of September 14 and most of September 15, an expected audience of more than 200 academics and policymakers will divide into parallel tracks (tied to Minerva priority topics) convening for multiple breakout sessions. Each topical panels will be composed of two academic Minerva scholars discussing their research findings to date, complemented by perspectives and feedback from a Department of Defense policymaker and operator, and then followed by community discussion.
The 2016 event will also include poster and researcher networking sessions where many Minerva grantees will present visual displays and live computer demos detailing their Minerva research as well as data and tools generated in the course of that research.
