Why attend the UIC Research Symposium?<BR>
Nearly all past attendees have said that the Symposium is the best<BR>
conference they attend throughout the year. With attendance of about 50<BR>
participants, the meeting creates a friendly atmosphere with interaction<BR>
among all in attendance. We encourage early stage research. Here is what<BR>
some have said:<BR>
<BR>
".what struck me then and still does is the immense generosity in time<BR>
and assistance that such an audience is prepared to offer.",<BR>
<BR>
"I found the symposium extremely beneficial for my research. It provided<BR>
an excellent platform on which to receive feedback."</FONT>
