CMMI\u2019s mission is to fund fundamental research and education in support of NSF\u2019s strategic goals, which are directed toward advances in the civil, mechanical, industrial and manufacturing engineering disciplines. Additionally, CMMI focuses on the reduction of risks and damage resulting from earthquakes and other natural and technological hazards.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EConference activities will include more than 1,000 poster presentations; technical tours of local companies and Georgia Tech; and plenary and breakout sessions on funding opportunities and proposal writing, research needs, opportunities, and best practices. The conference also will provide an excellent opportunity for networking between NSF grantees, students, industry, and government, hopefully motivating them to become innovators in these areas in their future careers, and make a positive impact on society.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe\u0026nbsp;conference\u0026nbsp;will highlight the technical challenges and research needs in energy management and sustainability\u2014a topic of global importance today \u2014and thereby stimulate new ideas for scientific research and technological innovation.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Engineering for Sustainability and Prosperity\u0022"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2010-12-08 09:47:24","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:32","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-01-04T07:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-01-07T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-01-07T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-01-04 12:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-01-07 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-01-07 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cmmigranteeconference.org\/","title":"2011 NSF Engineering Research and Innovation Conference"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"411","name":"CEISMC"},{"id":"516","name":"engineering"},{"id":"363","name":"NSF"},{"id":"166890","name":"sustainability"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:pam.rountree@marc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EPamela Rountree\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EManufacturing Research Center\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-894-5562\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
