Welcome to ASCINA Greater Boston
GEOGRAPHY
The Chapter Greater Boston of ASciNA serves scholars and scientists of the New England states Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont (Connecticut is part of the Greater New York Chapter). Regular meetings take place monthly at varying locations in the Boston metro area.
DESCRIPTION
ASciNA Greater Boston is among the oldest regional groups embedded in the ASciNA network. Founded by Wolfgang Winkelmayer and Eva Schernhammer in 2001, it provides an intellectual and social platform to scholars and scientists from the many prestigious universities and colleges of the Massachusetts Bay Area such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts University, Boston University, Northeastern University, Bentley College, as well as other research centered for-profit and non-for-profit institutions. Beyond the Metro Boston region, we serve members at diverse institutions in New England such as the University of Vermont (Burlington Campus), Brown University (RI), or Dartmouth University (NH).
During the inception phase of the ASciNA network, we met up to twice a month to contribute actively to the nationwide efforts of crafting the mission statement, establishing a statutory, and preparing for the First National Meeting of ASciNA hosted by the Office for Science and Technology www.ostina.org of the Austrian Embassy in Washington, D.C. in the spring of 2001.
Currently, we have over 60 members who have the opportunity to gather at the monthly meetings mostly held in Boston or Cambridge.
