Convening meetings, workshops, seminars, and public programs is a key part of the mission at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center promoting collaboration between campus-based faculty, ASRC faculty, theorists, and experimentalists across New York City.
The ASRC offers event and meeting spaces that can accommodate up to 100 guests for your next conference, reception, meeting, workshop, film shoot, or private event.
Come to the first seminar in the ASRC Interdisciplinary Seminar Series on Monday February 10 at 1:00 pm. Featuring Research Associate Professor, Arno Thielens, who will speak on the Exposure of Insects to Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic
