About the meeting:
CAFS annual meetings are key to the success of the center and focus on the interaction between university researchers and Industry Advisory Board (IAB) members. In fact, the strength of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center model is the constructive dialogue between university and industry scientists that leads to insight on new and ongoing research. Now with nine academic partners, we at North Carolina State, Oregon State, Purdue, Virginia Tech, University of Georgia, University of Maine, University of Washington, and our new sites, University of Florida and University of Idaho, will continue working across universities and regions to better serve you.
