ONR Focus Area Forum: Power & Energy

Office of Naval Research (ONR) invites you to attend the Focus Area Forum.  This forum will address Power and Energy (P&E).

What it is:  The objective of the Focus Area Forum is to communicate the Navy's overall Science and Technology (S&T) P&E portfolio, identify key challenges & opportunities for the future, and engage with industry/academia on the future P&E challenge for Navy surface combatants. 

How it works:  ONR and senior Navy/USMC leadership will deliver their perspectives on a range of P&E topics, and solicit feedback/questions from forum participants.  Participants can request a poster board display that will be open to the conference attendees to visit during the lunch break information exchange.

In the weeks following the meeting attendees will be given an opportunity to  meet with an ONR program officer to follow up on topics discussed during the Forum.  These appointments can be requested during registration below.  They will be made at the discretion of ONR based on relevance to the subject matter.
