On Tuesday, October 24th, 2017,  from 1:00 to 2:00 PM Eastern, NASEM’s Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) will host a free public webinar on the recent STEP report assessing ARPA-E. Details are below. If you’re interested, please join us – just kindly register online in order to receive the requisite call-in information for the event.

In June 2017 the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) released a detailed examination of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The report appraises the appropriateness and effectiveness of ARPA-E’s processes and operations to achieve its mission and goals. It also presents a retrospective and technical assessment of ARPA-E. The study’s committee of experts relied on quantitative and qualitative analyses to develop a set of findings and recommendations to the agency and to Congress.

Please join GUIRR for a webinar with two members of the study committee, John Wall, former Vice President and CTO of Cummins, and Louis Schick, Co-Founder and CTO of New World Capital, to discuss the report’s findings and recommendations.

There is no cost to this webinar, but registration is required. A confirmation email will be issued prior to the event containing the webinar URL.
