The 2021 Oklahoma NSF EPSCoR State Conference will be held Tuesday, May 25, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., via the Zoom platform. The conference will bring together a diverse group of researchers and stakeholders from across the state to highlight progress made during the first year of the RII-Award No. OIA-1946093, Socially Sustainable Solutions for Water, Carbon, and Infrastructure Resilience in Oklahoma (S3OK). In addition to plenary sessions that highlight research progress, the team's integrated research efforts will be further strengthened through concurrent breakout sessions that address focus area interdependencies, transdisciplinary integration, and year 2 project goals. The project also has a vigorous outreach and education component, which will be highlighted at the conference. Click here to access the full agenda.
The S3OK project is a statewide, multi-institutional collaboration among more than 40 social, physical, biological, engineering, and computational scientists that aims to develop and test science-based solutions for multi-faceted and complex problems at the intersection of land use, water availability, and infrastructure in Oklahoma.
