CSAAW - Complex Systems Advanced Academic Workshop

Complex Systems Advanced Academic Workshop (CSAAW -- "see-saw") is a a group sponsored by the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop fund and CSCS.

The goal of CSAAW is to support students who are writing dissertations that involve the interdisciplinary ideas and techniques of complex systems research. Through a series of regular meetings, students discuss their own work and receive feedback from other students, faculty and researchers. For some meetings, students present "tutorials" on various complex systems related topics or methodology. Other meetings consist of talks by and discussions with invited speakers who are active in complex systems research. These speakers, many of who will be recent graduates, will discuss their own work, provide advice on how to successfully complete a complex systems (interdisciplinary) disseration, and how to navigate through the post-graduate job market.
