One of the greatest challenges facing university leaders today is developing, conducting, and managing research activities in an effective manner that is fully compliant with the several regulatory environments within which the modern research university is embedded. International research activities pose specific additional challenges and even the most research-active universities lack fully developed, effective systems and infrastructure. Rutgers’ Centers for Global Advancement and International Affairs invite students, faculty, researchers, funding agencies and foundations, government leaders, grant administrators, and research and development officers for a two-day conference that examines development opportunities and best practices for conducting international research. Panelists will share practical insights and case studies that shed light on the international research process. | Location: Hyatt Regency, 2 Albany Street, New Brunswick, NJ. Conference attendees are also invited to an exclusive tour of United Nations headquarters in New York City on July 22, 2016.

The Zimmerli Art Museum’s exhibition HereNow: Rutgers 250 celebrates the 250th anniversary of Rutgers—as well as the 50th birthday of the museum—by looking to the future. Rather than focus on Rutgers’ illustrious history, the initiative engages the entire university community with an opportunity to capture what education and campus life look like in the early 21st century at a major public university.

Beginning on November 10, 2015, as part of the Rutgers' community, you are invited to submit your images through the exhibit website. Images received by early January 2016 will be printed and hung as the premier images for this major exhibition at the Zimmerli. Thereafter, submitted images will be printed and installed in the museum at regular intervals, allowing the online and onsite exhibition to grow throughout the spring.

Following the close of the show, the 250 most interesting and compelling images will be compiled and published in a fine arts book with accompanying essays by distinguished authors and critics from Rutgers and beyond. The publication will document Rutgers, here and now, comprising a record of life at Rutgers at its 250th birthday through the eyes of its many communities. | Location: Submit your images online at herenow250.rutgers.edu.
