The Naval Postgraduate School is hosting the 22nd Annual Acquisition Research Symposium & Innovation Summit on May 7-8, 2025. A diverse group of acquisition professionals will have the opportunity to connect with scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in this research-focused forum.
IEEE SysCon 2025
The 19th annual IEEE International Systems Conference will be held on April 7-10, 2025 at the Delta Hotels Montreal. The IEEE Systems Council facilitates interactions among communities of interest on system-level problems and applications.
Conference on Systems Engineering Research 2025
Researchers in academia, industry, and government have the opportunity to present, discuss, and influence systems engineering research at CSER, co-founded in 2003 by University of Southern California and Stevens Institute of Technology.
2025 Pacific Operational Science & Technology (POST) Conference
This event serves to address the critical issues and challenges of the Indo-Pacific region, focusing on topics in science, technology, and security. This conference encourages leaders in academia, industry, and government to ideate solutions, with showcases in support of joint fires, information advantage, contested logistics, and other joint warfighting challenges.
INCOSE International Workshop 2025
INCOSE’s International Workshop is the event of the year for systems engineers to contribute to their industry. Attendees spend 4 focused days working alongside fellow systems engineers who are there to make a difference. Unlike INCOSE’s annual International Symposium and other conferences, there are no paper, panel, or tutorial presentations. Systems Engineers at all levels and from all backgrounds are encouraged to engage in working sessions, and contribute their knowledge and experience to take the discipline forward.
SERC Doctoral Student Forum 2024

The SERC is seeking a diverse pool of future leaders in systems engineering to showcase their research to an audience of academia, government, and industry. All doctoral student presenters will be considered for the Dr. Barry Boehm Award for Doctoral Student Research Excellence that includes a small monetary prize.
Doctoral students who are selected and accept are expected to present their work in person. All presentations will be 20 minutes (including Q&A). All materials must be appropriate for public release. Presentation slides will be uploaded to the SERC website after the forum.
Submissions are open to students currently enrolled in doctoral programs at SERC collaborating universities, Minority Institutions (MI), or Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The deadline for submissions is October 8, 2024 at 4:00pm ET.
If you have any questions, please contact SERC Communications Manager Alan Skontra.
