Welcome & Opening Remarks: Celebrating 15 Years of SERC
8:45 am
SERC Research Review 2023
Nov 15, 2023 8:00am - 5:00pm Arlington, VA
On November 15, the 15th annual SERC Research Review will unite the government, industry, and academic systems engineering community in Arlington, Virginia to share research progress and discuss the most challenging systems engineering issues today. This event is a unique opportunity to learn about the latest research being conducted by the SERC and network with the broader systems community. SERC researchers will hold technical presentations spanning the SERC’s four defined areas of expertise: Digital Transformation, Enterprises and Innovation, Models and Data, and Human Capital Development.
This year marks 15 years of the Systems Engineering Research Center, and we look forward to reviewing this year’s research accomplishments along with celebrating impact since the SERC was founded as the first networked University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).
The SDSF will begin at 11AM on November 14. The “Cheers to 15 Years” reception will take place that evening from 5:30-7PM. The SERC Research Review will begin on November 15 at 8:45AM and adjourn at 5:30PM.
