09/23/2005 - Prof. Arturo Hernández and Mr. Milton Rivera, ChemE PhD Candidate, participated in the Puerto Rico-NSF/EPSCoR Annual Meeting (Río Grande, PR).
The Puerto Rico EPSCoR Program has reached 20 years of existence in Puerto Rico. Since its inception, it has pursued the goal of developing S&T competitive research in Puerto Rico. To celebrate the success of the program, this year’s Puerto Rico-EPSCoR Annual Conference was dedicated to pass review on the achievements of the past 20 years and explore future paths to continue supporting S&T infrastructure and stimulating the development of competitive research. It should be mentioned that Dr. Eric Bloch, former NSF Director, Member of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and the creator of the EPSCoR Program, was one of the keynote speakers during the celebration.
