The Systems Engineering Research Center is excited to announce the program for SERC Sponsor Research Review on November 13, 2012, at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.  This event focuses on a high-level review of SERC research strategies and priorities and includes input and feedback from the SERC sponsor community.  The program consists of an afternoon session and an evening open house and poster session.  The  event brings together the SERC sponsor community with key SERC research objectives, outcomes, and transition opportunities, in addition to identifying new sponsor needs and how SERC systems research can solve them. This includes a SERC Open House Reception where all members of the Systems Engineering community are invited, including sponsors, collaborators, FFRDCs, industry, and SERC doctoral fellows. In addition, time is allotted in the morning preceding the Open House to hold the SERC Government Executive Advisory Board Meeting.  The SERC technical review will be held in Spring 2013 linked with the Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER) in Atlanta, GA.

Details for the events are as follows:
