Program

 

ICAP Conference Program, Overview:

Sunday, July 28- Friday, August 2, 2002. All sessions and registration take place at the Kresge Auditorium (W16) at MIT. Poster sessions will take place at the nearby Student Center (W20). You can access a map with ICAP locations (printout will be distributed at registration), an interactive map of the MIT campus , and directions to MIT. On Monday and Tuesday night there will be laboratory tours at Harvard and MIT.
