Symposium speakers include IISE Visiting Scholars, Senior Research Fellows and Affiliated Faculty Members, advanced doctoral students, and professionals from around the world.
The purpose of the IISE Symposium Series is to disseminate via lecture, pod cast, and publications the innovative research offered at the Institute. The Symposium also provides an important gathering point for the CIDE community as a whole.
