The Virgin Islands Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (VI-EPSCoR) will host its 2017 annual conference, “Transforming Research into Economic Development.” VI-EPSCoR invites the entire community to participate in this event, which will be a conversation about the research, outreach and educational activities that have been facilitated throughout the territory by VI-EPSCoR’s support and partnerships under the Mare Nostrum Caribbean grant. Community members who attend the conference will have a unique opportunity to learn about several of the Mare Nostrum-related activities in greater detail and to meet with VI-EPSCoR researchers, partners and potential partners. Please RSVP online.
