8th Annual SERC Sponsor Research Review
Thursday, November 17, 2016
8:00 am – 5:15 pm
Hosted by: 20 F Street, NW Conference Center
20 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20001
For the 8th Annual SERC Sponsor Research Review (SSRR), more than twenty SERC research tasks were presented among government sponsors, collaborating SERC researchers and members of industry to discuss the impact of the research on the landscape of Systems Engineering. Utilizing the state-of-the-art conference facility, 20 F Street NW Conference Center located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, the event highlighted results of SERC research projects, many of which are ready for pilot use and early transition to practice, and potential opportunities for government agencies and others to participate in the projects and their application.
