A Working Conference should foment more effective dissemination and integration of knowledge, since everyone present can actively contribute to the creative process, leading to a dialogue between humanists and scientists from around the world. Previous Working Conferences have been held in the USA, in Santa Fe , New Mexico, in New Brunswick , New Jersey , St. Petersburg, Florida, and in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico ; in Puebla and in Mexico City , Mexico ; in San Ramón , Costa Rica ; in Buenos Aires and Pinamar , Argentina ; in Cumaná, Venezuela .
The most successful papers at Ometeca Working Conferences bring together aspects of the sciences and the humanities in such a way that they take us beyond particular insights gained in each discipline. Papers that juxtapose and show parallels between aspects of the sciences and the humanities should do so in order to illuminate larger theoretical questions or suggest theory that lead us toward a new praxis. Historical surveys are not useful for their own sake, but should have relevance to a particular argument or larger interdisciplinary interest. Authors are encouraged to take chances and to explore new possibilities without sacrificing the rigor and standards of their disciplines.
In order to participate in the Working Conference, a person does not need to present a paper. The number of actual presenters will be limited, since papers are not read before an audience. Instead, they are distributed to participants before the working conference so that they may be studied, and at the Working Conference they are discussed with the participants.
