CLIC Un-Meeting Event Guide

The University of Rochester Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC), as the Coordinating Center for the NIH-funded Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program developed and hosted numerous national Un-Meetings across the CTSA Consortium. CLIC developed the step-by-step guide to share how to plan and host an Un-Meeting"  An Un-Meeting is 

• An event without the rules and structure of a traditional conference, where the interests and ideas of attendees drive the topics of small group discussions all around a common theme. 

• An interactive way to cultivate ideas and make productive connections across academic centers and between academia, industry, government, and the community with the goal of developing multidisciplinary, collaborative partnerships. 

• A catalyst for inspiring future collaborative research, grant applications, manuscripts and publications through the sharing of experiences, ideas and best practices.
