2026 EdEC ASP Summer Colloquium

The NSF NCAR Education, Engagement & Early-Career Development (EdEC) program's Advanced Study Program (ASP) Summer Colloquium is an annual colloquium exploring subjects that represent new or rapidly developing areas of research. The colloquium brings together lecturers and graduate students to NSF NCAR for two weeks for classroom presentations, instruction and interaction, July 13–24, 2026 in Boulder, CO. ASP covers travel and living expenses for 25 graduate students who attend the two-week program.

Students take part in lectures and activities that encourage scenario-based, experiential, peer, and systems learning. Through these experiences, they will gain a clearer sense of what convergence research looks like in practice. They will learn to approach problems with an eye toward practical solutions, work effectively in teams with a broad range of expertise, and collaborate to improve resilience to complex hazards and disasters.

Applications close on February 22, 2026.
