Town Hall: Colorado-Wyoming NSF Engine
Join us for a town hall to explore the exciting possibilities with the NSF's CO-WY Climate Resilience Engine. ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ18 new funding opportunities and learn how you can actively participate in this new initiative!
The U.S. National Science Foundation has announced that the is an inaugural NSF Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines). The CO-WY Engine will initially receive up to $15 million for the next two years. Through the NSF Engines program, NSF aims to expand the frontiers of technology and innovation, spur economic growth across the nation, and transform entire geographic regions into world-leading hubs of innovation.
The CO-WY Engine is a groundbreaking initiative, set to catalyze a series of significant outcomes that will reshape the landscape of climate technology and regional economic development in Colorado and Wyoming. The first major outcome is the development and commercialization of advanced climate-resilient technologies. These technologies - spanning from environmental monitoring to predictive analytics - aim to empower communities, governments, and industries to effectively navigate and adapt to the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change.
By focusing on innovative solutions in areas like wildfire mitigation, water resource management, sustainable agriculture and adaptation to extreme weather events, the CO-WY Climate Resilience Engine is poised to revolutionize how we understand, predict and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The CO-WY Climate Resilience Engine is set to have a profound impact on workforce development and community engagement, and places a strong emphasis on inclusive growth, ensuring that these economic benefits reach across diverse communities.
We look forward to hosting CO-WY Climate Resilience Engine leadership for their inaugural Town Hall for the CU Boulder campus.
