A series of regional expansion events,at least two per region, are scheduled to take place in three stages over the next three years. The events will raise awareness of NSF, TIP and the NSF Convergence Accelerator, while also providing insights into the roles and responsibilities of the regional NSF Convergence Accelerator lead, called an anchor, and how regional stakeholders can engage or participate in the program. The NSF Convergence Accelerator regional expansion events offer attendees from academia, industry, nonprofits, state, local, tribal governments and other communities of practice the opportunity to learn more about the program model and expansion. Event attendees will also be provided networking opportunities to connect with the NSF Convergence Accelerator team, existing NSF Convergence Accelerator-funded teams, and others dedicated to developing use-inspired solutions to address complex challenges within the region. Oregon is in Stage 2.
