Several short courses are being planned, and additional proposals will be considered. Courses will be offered on Sunday, May 23 (the day before the technical program begins), and possibly on Wednesday afternoon.

Short course proposals will be accepted through September 30, 2009. Proposals should provide the following information:

• Summary of course content—a concise (maximum 250 words) description of the technology or approach that is the subject of the course, situations in which it would be applicable, and the intended audience
• Biosketches for all instructors
• Draft agenda and list of the course materials to be provided to participants
• Whether students will need computers for classroom exercises

Submit proposals to chlorcon@battelle.org by September 30. Course proposals will be evaluated, and you will be notified by October 31. If your course is selected, you will receive information about scheduling and how course registrations will be handled. Course descriptions will be included in the Preliminary Program, which will be printed for a general mailing in January 2010 and posted at www.battelle.org/chlorcon.
