INSAR Institute


 

The INSAR Institute (previously known as INSAR Summer Institute) webinars are designed for students, post-doctoral fellows, early-career investigators, families, service providers, and people with autism and their families. The INSAR Student and Trainee Committee leads the organization of this annual event.

Clinicians and established researchers who would like a snapshot of the current state of science in topics outside their area of expertise may also find these sessions of value.

Registration is free and available worldwide to those interested in autism research.

Archived materials and session recordings are open access from 2016 - 2018 and 2020. However, the 2019 recordings are accessible by members only. Click on the links below to view details and links for past year's sessions.
