2023 Program
We are excited to head to new territory for MAD SSCi 2023: Chapel Hill, North Carolina! This meeting will feature sessions focused on collaborations of all kinds: core to core; core to researcher; institution to institution and beyond. In addition to the pre-conference Business Skills Workshop and Train the Trainer Workshops, we will spend Friday morning focusing on skills to help us build our teams in this challenging time of growth and turnover. All sessions will be held at the Friday Center, adjacent to the UNC, Chapel Hill campus.
