The purpose of the Dupont Summit is to promote interdisciplinary dialogue about pressing issues related to science, technology and the environment. The conference mirrors the interest of the PSO and its partners in promoting conversation about current policy concerns.

Presented every year on the first Friday of December, the conference brings together academics, government, business and social leaders from a variety of backgrounds, for discussion about issues that include but that are not limited to:

Health
Energy
National Security
Information and Telecommunications
Environment, Climate Change
Biotechnology

Genetics and Stem Cells
Water and Natural Resources
Science Research and Education
Technology and Innovation, Space
Ethical, Legal & Social Implications

Other topic suggestions are welcome. Papers are invited on the intersection of science with ethical and philosophical issues as well. Our goal is to promote multidisciplinary conversation and networking across the social and political spectrum.

The call for proposals is now open for the 2019 general summit. In order to submit a paper for consideration, please send a 1-2 page abstract to PSO Executive Director, Daniel Gutierrez, at dgutierrezs@ipsonet.org, or call 202-349-9282.

As part of the Dupont Summit, the Promising New Scholarship and Complexity Conference for graduate students, post-docs, and budding scholars allows scholars to practice presenting their research, methodological strategies, and/or ideas on how to build scholarship in the area of policy and complexity. Presentations will be followed by a group discussion of the presentations. There will also be an opportunity for publication in the conference proceedings. Organized by Journal on Policy and Complex Systems' Managing Editor, Liz Johnson, at Ljohnson1@carolina.rr.com.
