DOE Energy Frontier Research Center Competition Workshop

Discovery Park
September 10, 2019
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Burton D. Morgan Center Room 121

Description

Discovery Park will host a workshop for Purdue faculty and staff to help shape responses to the next Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) competition planned for Fall 2019. 

EFRCs are multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary centers that support fundamental research aimed at overcoming barriers to the development of new energy technologies and accelerating use-driven research to address energy needs. This Fall, DOE plans to release a $40 million funding opportunity announcement to compete EFRCs with resources allocated to fund between six and 15 new EFRCs in the following three priority research areas:

  • Quantum information science: The current EFRCs are focused on quantum materials and DOE would like to fund new centers that have an expanded scope in materials research and chemistry to address a broader set of issues in quantum information science.
  •  Microelectronics: This is a new topic area focused on advanced materials and chemistry to develop next generation’s microelectronics technologies for applications relevant to DOE’s mission, including computing, power grid management, and science facility workloads.
  • The energy-water nexus: The water security grand challenge is a top priority for Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and this research area helps advance fundamental knowledge in a broad set of DOE mission areas.

Seating is limited.  Register via the Qualtrics Form.
