Upstate Makes Partner Meeting & AI Roadmapping

This meeting is designed to align our Upstate Makes collaborative efforts in final preparation for submitting the upcoming grant proposal due on February 11th, 2025.

The morning session will be a roadmapping workshop to provide a perspective on where and how AI plays a critical role in advancing materials driven innovation in microelectronics fabrication and how this can be leveraged for a future NSF Engine. We recommend that technical leads and R&D partners attend the morning session.

The afternoon session will bring together key representatives from our industry partner(s) and our internal project team to review the proposal’s scope, objectives, and strategic contributions. We recommend all partners attend the lunch and the afternoon session.
