Preliminary Agenda for MRSEC Director's Meeting NSF Stafford I, Room 375 October 14, 2014 8:00 AM Coffee available 8:15 AM Welcoming remarks Dr. F. Fleming Crim, Asst. Director, MPS 8:30 AM Update on DMR and Upcoming Initiatives Dr. Mary E. Galvin, Director, DMR

You're invited to come and learn more about the latest research in computational materials/chemistry and to mingle with computational scientists who work on UW campus and beyond. The next seminar takes place in January at 3:30 pm in Room 265 of Materials Science & Engineering building.

One goal of this workshop is to learn as much as possible about resources and needs at regional institutions. We are lucky enough to have participants from a wide range of institutions, include multiple companies, UW systems schools, and national laboratories. We would therefore like to reach out directly to all of you and ask if you would be interested in presenting some information on your institution’s resources and needs.
