Strengthening Our Research, Education and Outreach Collaborations in the Region - St. Thomas, USVI
The VI-EPSCoR 2014 Annual Conference was held on UVI’s St. Thomas Campus on May 12-14. The theme was “Strengthening Our Research, Education and Outreach Collaborations in the Region.” The goal was to share information about research, education and outreach goals and initiatives by local entities and representatives from the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, in an effort to identify synergies and opportunities for collaborations to our mutual benefit.
Themes of the conference’s four presentations were Ridge to Reef Research in the Region; Climate Change and Anthropogenic Research; Education and Outreach.
Presenters included UVI researchers, and representatives from the British Virgin Islands, the Virgin Islands Department of Education, and Puerto Rico. The keynote presentation was made by Dr. Lee Todd, president emeritus of the University of Kentucky on “The Role of Science and Technology in Economic Development.” A special presentation was made by the National Science Foundation’s EPSCoR Program Director Dr. Sean Kennan on the subject of partnership and collaborative funding opportunities via NSF.
