Chapman conferences can be held virtually, in-person, or as a hybrid conference. These transformative conferences should be goal-oriented and conveners should consider alternative session formats as well as brainstorming sessions and team exercises to stimulate outcomes during and after the meeting. Conveners are responsible for scientific planning and programming. AGU team members offer logistics and organizational expertise. Proposals are reviewed four times a year by AGU scientists who provide feedback to conveners. Upcoming Chapmans Convener responsibilities AGU responsibilities Virtual Chapmans Publications Contacts Archives Particle Precipitation: Drivers, Properties, and Impacts on Atmosphere, Ionosphere, Magnetosphere Coupling 14-21 February 2025 Melbourne, Australia The Chapman Particle Precipitation will bring together participants from the atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere (AIM) communities to focus efforts on identifying and communicating outstanding issues, how models can bridge knowledge gaps, promising techniques for enhanced analysis, and required new types of observations. Learn More Remote Sensing of the Water Cycle: Sensors to Science to Society 13-16 February 2024 Honolulu, HI The Chapman considers the water cycle and the role of scientists, researchers, and business in a time of unprecedented changes in the fields of sensor technology, satellite missions, modeling and applications. Which science questions have been answered in this past decade and what are the next decade’s pressing questions? Learn More Second National Conference: Justice in Geoscience Phase II Fall 2023 - Fall 2024 Washington, DC, USA Phase II of the Second National Conference consists of the writing of the 2072 Report. The Report will contain a record of the 2022 Second National Conference and articulate a forward-looking vision statement that can guide critical actions and creative interventions towards justice in geoscience from 2022-2072. Learn More Convener responsibilities If you have a conference idea, it takes an average of 15-18 months from your initial application to the actual meeting. Conveners are expected to: Engage scientists with breadth of knowledge and diversity of opinions to form the program committee Support grant applications for funding to keep registration rates down and enable participation from student/early career scientists. All potential sponsorships need to be discussed with AGU before a contract is signed. Recruit participants, generally a minimum of 75 attendees, including speakers/presenters. Student/early career scientists should be fairly represented at the conference. Plan the session topics and schedule for the meeting as well as program development including sessions, workshops, career development opportunities. Promote the conference to your network with the help of AGU team members. Create outcomes that can be disseminated in many media, including completing a final conference report for AGU scientists that will be posted on an AGU website. After steps 1-6 are complete, submit your Chapman idea for a Phase 1 review to receive feedback from AGU scientists. Once you receive feedback and make any necessary revisions, submit a Phase 2 application.  Propose a future Chapman Conference Submit your proposal today. Get started on your own Chapman Conference proposal by downloading and reviewing our sample proposal (PDF). Download Proposal process and overview Drafting the proposal What you need to know Checklist for proposals Convener resources Proposal process and overview Chapman conveners should consider the grand challenges in their science and focus on identifying key, yet solvable, problems. Chapman Conferences are goal-oriented and conveners should have activities before, during and after the meeting that will contribute to its success. Meeting outcomes are required and could include publications, as well as special sessions at scientific meetings (including AGU’s Fall Meeting) that present the solutions and pathways developed from the Chapman. Proposing a Chapman Conference is a two-step process: Phase I : Submit a high-level proposal to be reviewed by AGU scientists for feedback. Here is the Phase I application . Phase II : Submit a full proposal that includes list of attendees, funding garnered by conveners and more specific scientific information. Here is a Phase II proposal . Some conveners submit a revised proposal to funding agencies for meeting support. AGU can provide organizational support. Proposals may be submitted at any time but are generally reviewed in February, May, August and November by AGU scientists. Designing a Chapman Any AGU member can propose a Chapman Conference. The program committee designs the conference with sessions, networking, mentoring, public engagement, small group work, or other formats depending on conference needs and outcomes. Your Chapman conference might focus on developing a hypothesis, on testing a hypothesis, or focus on sensing, modeling, or measurements that can yield new results. These are only a few examples of how you could center your meeting. Drafting the proposal and creating the team A convener works with several others to create the scientific statement and high-level topics. Because conveners also recruit attendees, it is critical to have focused document that appeals to multiple career stages. Phase I of the application answers a few simple questions. Your proposal will be peer reviewed by multiple AGU scientists who will provide feedback. After you make any necessary revisions, you will complete a Phase II application online. What you need to know If you are considering proposing a Chapman Conference, we encourage you to review the following information to understand the scope, organization, and management of Chapmans. If you have questions regarding a proposal, please contact Victoria Forlini , Director, Meetings, AGU . Participants and size The conveners should establish an...
