The committee will also be sharing information and news about Young ISDE during the session.  

About the Research Projects Being Pitched 

Research projects were submitted in advance and the highest scoring proposals were selected to present during this session. This initiative is intended to provide support to early career researchers who may not otherwise have access to a network, mentors or expertise.
