Dear IE Ph.D students,
I would like to invite you to a presentation and Q&A session with Dr. Cerry Klein, NSF Program Director, at 1:30 pm (50 minutes) on April 17th (this Friday) in MGL Expl Rm. This session is mainly for IE faculty members. Dr. Klein will discuss the NSF future directions, funding opportunities, and the impact of stimulus funding to NSF programs. I believe this will be a great learning experience for you to learn about NSF. Please email me if you are attending, so I can plan accordingly. Refreshments will be served.
Abstract of Seminar
Service now accounts for approximately 80% of the economy and manufacturing has held steady at 20%. Research in understanding and promoting these two key areas is essential to the continued growth of our economy and the understanding of how these sectors distinctly operate, interact and compliment each other. This presentation will discuss the efforts and funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation in these areas. Additionally, as part of the presentation an open discussion related to the future of manufacturing and service will be held.
