Why Keystone Symposia?

Keystone Symposia is committed to building a sustainable organization that will also allow us to continue to benefit our future generations of scientists. As we look to our future, we have identified these five areas in need of support:

  • Scholarship support for young investigators.
  • Diversity in all facets that reflect our global audience. Diversity also helps drive innovation.
  • Flexibility that allows us to program forward thinking research topics.
  • New initiatives such as professional skills development for young investigators.
  • Sustainability for the long-term health of Keystone Symposia.

Your gift to any one of the following funds will support these areas and directly impact and benefit our next generation of scientists.
