NOAA 10th Biennial Education and Science Forum - March 29th - April 1st, 2020
February 4, 2020
10th Biennial Forum
The Biennial Education and Science Forum focuses on the important role educational partners such as the four EPP/MSI Cooperative Science Centers (CSCs) and Undergraduate Scholarship Program contribute to the NOAA community. The EPP Forum supports NOAA's objective to develop a diverse and capable workforce. Since 2001, EPP/MSI institutions have graduated over 2,000 students in NOAA mission fields. Over seventy percent of graduates are from communities traditionally underrepresented in NOAA mission fields.
The
Tenth Biennial NOAA EPP/MSI Education and Science Forum will be hosted by the
NOAA Center for Coastal and Marine Ecosystems at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University from
March 29 - April 1, 2020.
