Welcome

The INFEWS PI Workshop will be held VIRTUALLY on Feb. 9-11, 2022.

Note: You must be registered to receive a login to the online conference platform. Registration is free. Register here.

The INFEWS PI Workshop is the closing event that brings together all PIs/projects supported by the USDA-NSF INFEWS program (2015 to present). Overall, the goal of the workshop is to take a wide-angle view and do a synthesis of the overarching INFEWS research frameworks; novel data, modeling and experimental approaches; key technologies, insights; educational programs, and approaches to translate science to practitioners in communities, industry, and government. We also plan journal special issues that can be a venue to report synthesis findings from our workshop and INFEWS projects.

The conference will be held in all-online format on Feb. 9-11, 2022. This workshop is hosted jointly by Prof. Anu Ramaswami (Princeton University) and Prof. Chad Higgins (Oregon State University), with a Scientific Advisory Committee of 10 professors representing eight universities across the United States.
