Agenda
Objective: The purpose of this meeting is to bring together all of the lead PIs and key Co-PIs in the program to share and review the results of funded research from the past year. This meeting allows ERSD (now CESD) program managers to gauge the progress and significance of the funded research but also provides a venue for PIs to view the entire ERSP portfolio and interact with colleagues working in similar science areas. 2008 ERSP Abstracts (pdf) |
