ICAM Workshop: Goals


Formation of ICAM: Initial Orqanization
  self-assembled by scientists involved 
  science advisory committee 
  minimalist science based structure 
  start modestly 
  always think long-term 
  adapt 
  MAKE NO LITTLE PLANS
Workshop issues: 
  key questions 
  research themes 
  priorities 
  next steps
Steering committee: 12 or so 
  self and other nominations 
  real work 
  quarterly meetings 
  active advocate 
  write proposals 
  Co-PI (not restricted) 
"So I also imagine ICAM to be highly interdisciplinary, a forum in which ideas turn Into theories which, if right, might change the course of history in chemistry, biology, Materials science, or physics."
