The intellectual core of the GSA is the Global Seminar Projects.  Beginning on day 1, GSA students work as 4 to 6-member teams to complete a rigorous piece of original research or an original development project.  On the last day of the School, the teams present the results of their work in a Symposium and Poster Session that is the highlight of the month.  The projects completed in 2009 are listed below.  To view the paper, brochure, poster, and PowerPoint for each project click the appropriate link:
