Riggs Alumni Center, University of Maryland, College Park
This meeting aims to expand CREB’s presence and membership, bringing together industry partners with leading academic and government researchers. In addition to talks from each of the founding partners (UMD, NIST, and ARL), the awardees of the Research & Innovation Seed Grant Program will also present their projects. During this meeting, attendees and stakeholders will have the opportunity to discuss their membership in the CREB consortium. A student poster session will occur during lunch, highlighting innovative battery research.
