NECZA Meeting Philosophy:
NECZA is an outgrowth of discussions held after sessions at the 1997 Zeolite and Layered Materials Gordon Conference, chaired by Charles Kresge. NECZA seeks to maximize discussion and interactions between the scientists who are attending the meeting. As such, the technical program tends to be a bit flexible with contributions from a variety of backgrounds.
1. Speakers are encouraged to prepare "provocative"
talks and to
rigorously time their talk to keep it to 20 minutes. Ten minutes
of each
time slot has been allotted for discussion.
2. The audience is STRONGLY encouraged to "participate"
(for example by
bringing 1 - 2 slides related to the talks to open up the discussion).
The speakers will submit a short informal abstract as soon as
possible for
distribution.
3. If necessary, the moderators may call upon audience members
with the
expertise to address points the moderator believes are important
and
pertinent.
4. The poster session and graduate student talks have been a staple of NECZA meetings. Speaking from experience, this is a wonderful opportunity for students to 'get their feet wet' in a relatively friendly setting.
