New organization will convene engineering voices to identify opportunities and priorities for innovative research that benefits society.
WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2021 / America's economic competitiveness is tied directly to the pace of scientific and technological discovery, which requires sustained, long-term support as well as agility. To help the United States stay at the forefront of research and innovation - and maintain its leadership in the global economy - the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering today launched the Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA), the first engineering research visioning organization of its kind.
Engineering research profoundly impacts our daily lives in a variety of areas, from improved vaccine distribution to better smartphone cameras to the recent Mars rover landing. ERVA brings the engineering community together to envision high-impact solutions to society's grand challenges and to spark new research directions for a more secure and sustainable world.
