Water security is a defining challenge in the southwestern US. Seeking solutions to this challenge is paramount for maintaining ecosystems, supporting the economy, and growing the clean energy sector, as water and energy are inextricably linked. This workshop, organized by the Energized Watershed NSF Engines project team, will bring together water researchers, resource and technology experts, innovators, and stakeholders to discuss existing capabilities and identify knowledge and technology gaps to support enhanced water security in New Mexico.

Join policymakers, researchers, industry, entrepreneurs, investors, and others to learn about cutting-edge technologies in the race to decarbonize and how New Mexico can be the global leader in the future of energy. Learn about cutting-edge technologies in the race to decarbonize and how New Mexico can be the global leader in the future of energy.

Cost to attend: $250.00 - $300.00

This session will provide general information about E-RISE RII, including what distinguishes it from the EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (E-CORE RII), eligibility criteria, and other frequently asked questions

Join our conversation and community building around Native Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics (Native STEAM) in NM. What does it mean to be in STEAM? How can it be inclusive? What does this mean for community building around our overlapping roles such as students, educators, professionals, parents, community members? We are hoping this conversation will lead to networking and collective goal setting to reimagine the future of STEAM in Native Communities.

The Out to Innovate™ Scholarships, established in 2011, are intended for LGBTQ+ undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) programs. The scholarships are designed to promote academic excellence and increased visibility of talented LGBTQ+ students in STEM careers. We are pleased to announce that Motorola Solutions Foundation has funded the Out to Innovate Scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year for technology and engineering undergraduate students.

The goal of this workshop is to identify research directions and priorities for the next generation of power electronics and energy conversion systems for the electric grid, transportation, and national security.
