COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS As a friend of Pratham, you are invited to participate in a one-day conference in which ongoing research projects within the Pratham network will be presented, and future directions discussed. As you are aware, in Pratham we have a growing network of research collaborators who are currently investigating many different aspects of our work. While these researchers find Pratham’s network and activity systems to be an excellent empirical location for their particular research questions, their findings also help us to learn more and more about our own processes and context. The Pratham Research Conference in College Station, Texas in January 2004 will be a forum for sharing what we have learned so far from the current research initiatives as well as for identifying and developing future research opportunities. Participation is by invitation only. While a more detailed invitation with a complete agenda will follow, the purpose of this letter is to function as a “Save the Date” message. The conference will begin with a reception and dinner on Friday, January 30, 2004, and end by 5:00pm on Saturday, January 31st. Please mark your calendars and plan your travel accordingly. As you plan your travel to and from College Station, please do keep in mind that the 2004 Super Bowl is scheduled for February 1 in Houston, TX, which is one of the airline hubs for College Station. Thus, booking early may be a good idea, so as to avoid potentially higher airfares and lower availability as the Super Bowl draws near. We look forward to seeing you in College Station!
